hmmm.... I hear you and agree 100% on what benefits corner balancing has for a race track driven car, but I am still not convinced that a street driven car will get any real benefit from corner balancing, ok unless I have a big sub in the back and I weight 250lbs +..... but please convince me or explain what the actual benefit is on a street car w/o being 250lbs and w/o massive stereos, and I will do it.......... my car handles great with Pss9s and a 4wheel alignment currently - what will be different? This is not to start a riot...I really want to know

i've never tracked my car and probably never will...

i just enjoy driving it... sometimes a little over the speed limit...

but, i always put coilovers on my cars... i've lowered many cars many different ways, i found through experience that the best way is a good set of coilovers... i could use just springs... and... it'd probably suffice... but i'm not looking for good... i'm looking for "great". you could argue, "why use coilovers when you could save money and use springs if you're not going to track the car?"

i guess my point is, you don't have to track the car to notice a difference and most most likely your balance is off my hundred or two pounds without a sub or some monster stereo equipment. when i first put my car on scales, it became pretty obvious that it was going to make a difference. you may want to try that first... just see how "off" the balance is... how much are you being quoted, anyway?

You might be set up too low ...
