Good info. Lots of people only address the alignment when going to a coilover setup, and never think about corner balancing.

It's funny how much of a difference a few little adjustments make, right?

For the cornering - Bobby only had to adjust a small amount on the drivers side front and passenger side rear and then quite a bit for the drivers side rear. For the alignment - it was a couple of small (small small) adjustments and bingo - new car!

Yup...I'm always surprised how many people spend money on coilovers when they don't need them unless you corner balance.

Curious too as to how much S&R charges compared to the shop Bill and I went to in DB.

Interesting difference...my car weighed in at 2700lb with a little over 1/2 tank of fuel.

DAMN!

That is 100+ lbs...

I wonder how come, why is that? At half a tank full, my S is stock with the exception of the coilovers (lighter that stock,) braces front and rear, larger sways, and carbon hood (saves a massive 2 lbs) - yet the car is still lighter than a stock 06 - and your S is 2700lbs - I got to put mine on NutraSystem.
