When I had my lowered accord, I bought this lifetime allignment for $120 from firestone, and you can take it to any firestone here in Southern CA. I had camber kit on my car so it was worth it for me since I went there every 3000 miles to make sure it was still within the spec.

that's not bad.
In fact I think it's pretty cheap since it's lifetime

Autoinnovations, Milpitas. Speak with Orlando - should be $100 and they do excellent work.

I'd take it to a Mercedes Dealership for self assurance. Less than 100 dollars.
