I took my Miata to Cars & Concepts in Tampa. Really top notch work. The settings were exactly what I asked for, right down to the hundredth of a degree! Plus you can drool over all the pretty BMW's while you're there. 
It's a busy shop so you may have to make an appointment a couple weeks in advance....
I think I paid about $125 after tax.

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

I took my old DSM to Cars and Concepts and was pleased with their work. I would recommend them to anybody wanting a good alignment to specific settings. I'm going to have them do my 240 when I get around to changing out some suspension bits.

How do they properly align your car if it been considerably lowered? I thought that they could only adjust the tow of the wheels? I don't now much about alignments so I'm sorry if my question doesn't make much sense.

Different cars have different levels of adjustability. What you've probably heard is that with stock suspension, many lowered cars end up at their extreme limits of adjustability to compensate for the reduced ride height. There are various aftermarket parts to help combat that as well. It can be as simple as cam bolts or eccentric bushings or as complex as camber plates and replacement control arms.
