The main cause of the minis suspension getting bounced out is down to the heavy oem wheels and run flats.

James I agree on them not coming out of the factory very well aligned or balanced. I had a KDS on mine, when it was not very old and is was out of spec for one reason or another on virtually every wheel. I can't imagine they do anything as in depth as a KDS before it leaves the factory?

How much would you expect to pay for an independent to do a KDS?
