Default What is corner balancing??????

I just joined the Buddy Club today and was wondering if its worth getting my car corner balanced when I go in for the allignment. Is corner balancing recommended with race spec dampeners?? How will it help??

corner balancing is when you balance the weight distribution over each wheel so that the sum of the front left+rear right = front right+rear left corners. This will also give you the total vehicle curb weight and help determine front/rear weight distribution.

One of the main reasons for getting a coilover system is to be able to corner balance the car.

Of more importance than corner balancing is just determining the optimum ride height, spring rates, and damper settings for your car and the kind of driving you will be doing.

Corner balancing is going to be very damn close if you use identical "turns" left to right and aren't far off front to rear. The S2000 is extremely well corner balanced from the factory.

These freakin buddy clubs have so many settings that I don't know where to start as far as optimum ride height, spring rate, etc. All I know is that I don't rub right now and all sides are equal heights. I have fronts set a 11 out of 15 and rear at 9. I'll try this out and see how it handles. I desperately need the allignment tho.
