corner balancing
how many of you buy fully adjustable coilovers and dont corner balance them? reason being because i am reading the latest issue of modified and there is a complete section on it. any of you that go roadracing, etc. adjust each corner differently, do you notice a significant difference?

Corner balancing is the while point of getting a ride height adjustable suspension.
Not corner balancing after getting a coil over kit is a waste of a potentially great setup. Like getting really good set of tires and running them with 50 psi of pressure...

Rather than artificially adjusting ride height why not first exactly balance the body weight with the designated driver in place.
Necessary to weigh the weight on each wheel.
Oem designs for a 155 pound driver, so excess will have to be trimmed away.

yea but its supposed to be cross balanced. each weighing the same.
heres an example
lf = 560 rf = 600
lr = 440 rr = 460
however after being ballnced they should be the same when crossed, as is the left front and right rear should weigh the same as the right front and the left rear
lf = 565 * * rf = 595 = 1030
* *
*
lr = 435 * * rr = 4765 = 1030

The problem is correcting for weight change as fuel is consummed and the rear center of gravity as the fuel moves left and right.
Race cars adjust rear sway bar stiffness as fuel is consummed.
One can get carried away too as the incremental gains are small.
