Default KW V3s and corner balancing?

Hey guys.. anyone running KW v3s on the street/track that has done cornering balance on them?
Since adjusting height requires putting more or less preload would this have effects on cornering and such? is corner balancing really worth it?

You corner balance the S with the v3s by adjusting the height on all 4 corners untill every corner of the S2K's weight is even or as close as possible.

but the problem with the V3s is that height is adjusted by the amount of preload instead of having a seperate adjustment like some Tein SRC, Ohlins, etc.

I still want to hear how you "preload" coilovers.

I preload my shocks at turn-in or is it under braking?

Are you telling me to give up on explaining to him? or are you saying that am not understanding?

We are saying that adjusting the perch height is not preloading. (At least, not in any sense that matters. See my later post.)
