Corner Balancing

Corner Balancing
I finally went to Cars and Concepts and had some work done. They raised up my coils a bit, installed my SPC camber kit, corner balanced and alignment.
My car feels sooo much better, handles like a beast, no rubbing issues and my tires should last allot longer because my camber is basically back within factory spec.
I give Cars and Concepts the big
Anyone considering doing corner balance, I highly recomend doing it. They free up al the linkage that most peeple dont srew with when lowering their car, even weigh you to balance the car with you driving.

insane bump. I was talking to a shop that does corner balancing and alignment. They told me to stay away from corner balancing, as it's geared toward track duty. They said the heights of the car would look really messed up, and race cars with adjustable body panels only counter that.
Is this true? I honestly don't think so. I'm a pretty aggressive street driver, and hopefully start some autoXing. Does anyone have a picture of their G corner balanced from different angles. Is the car "leaning forward" or backwards?
Thanks

yes it's true but to an extent. Variability of the fender heights depends on the corner weight situation of the car. A straight, mass produced, unibody car shouldn't have too much variability to it. In my experience (not on a G37)a 1/4" here or there should do it and that was with an older car that had lots of hand labor in it. Those were much more varied.
If the car's been in an accident and has aligment problems (chassis and/or suspension) then you'll get more variability.
I wouldn't corner weight a pure street car. There's no real point. Too many variables in everyday driving to make it worth the time/money. Plus it could go out of whack pretty quickly.

Yeah my front right was about .25" higher when the car sat with no one in it but once I got in the car it was balanced...go figure. The stance on my car is good, no jacked up rear or anything wierd but I agree it was probably overkill for how litttle I actully track my car. But it does handle prety friggin good overall though. I hit on/off ramps at 90 all the time....er um I mean at whatever the posted speed is.
