Wheel Alignment Recommendations (N55 - 135i) - Melbourne

Just replaced the run-flats with MPSSs (225 / 255) and need an alignment. Any recommended workshops in Melbourne?

I'm running stock suspension - has anyone experimented with set-up / any recommendations?

Looking at replacing rear sub-frame bushings soon as well, but I've read that you don't need an alignment after that.

I replaced the suspension at 164,000km with MCA Street Essentials which gave, amongst other things, front camber adjustment.
I won't be bothering with rear subframe bush replacement now as the new suspension has fixed all the vagueness ills.
Check the state of your bump stops - the car rides on them and they are probably stuffed due to our roads. My fronts were toast and most of the rears were missing/destroyed.

Coilovers are on the list as well. Cheers, I'll check them but I doubt they're too stuffed given it has only done 42,000km
