I am in the process of getting my suspension upgraded. I was quoted $300 for an alignment and another $300 for corner balancing.
Thank you for your input.

I took my NSX's to West End in Gardena, CA. Cost about $200 for corner balance and alignment.

They are also one of the best in California

SAVED4IT is infamous around these parts
It doesn't get much better than West End. If you are in So Cal and have the time, Darin will treat you right.

Wow, 200 is incredibly cheap.

We find that pricing depends on car configuration. For example, cars with camber plates take less time then cars with gt3 lower arms (in general). In the north east, cars driven in the winter take MUCH longer then cars that arent.

200 is a starting point, I would expect for most to have to pay more.
