autoscope did my alignment I will most likely go back since I have added 40 lbs to the front end. I thinking about corner weighting the car to give a nice even balance.

quikwag,

can you corner weight your car?

The front has bolts that you can adjust to change the ride height. The back is similar, though I don't remember the process I did to lower it, but it involved me cutting a bushing to bring the rear end down level with the front.

Corner weighting would allow you to balance the car.

Car seems balanced enough as it is.

Seriously, until I noticed the uneven wear on my new tires, I have done NOTHING to my suspension other than the factory lowering which takes about 30 minutes, it involves cranking the bolts down and cutting the bushing in the rear. Anyway, I've been very happy, to say the least, with how my car handles.

Now, due to the uneven wear at last weekend's autocross, I need to get an alignment done to even out the wear.
