Default Corner Balancing

Is there a shop in the NJ/Eastern PA/DE area that does corner balancing? How much does a session run?

you will also need a platform or VERY level floor for your new scales. All tires must be in the same plain. otherwise, your scales will just show the twist in the floor and not true corner weight. We setup race cars all the time, and ca do this, but we are in Charlotte NC.

We are getting a set of scales for this weekend to play with. We are actually working on a Rustang suspension. I have talked to some guys some of them say just keep left side balanced front and rear and then balance right side front and rear.

So whats the trick to all this? 60/40 front/rear, left/right?? keep in mind this will be road raced just have no idea how to go about getting it set up. I understand compensation for driver, gas, lateral G, however just looking for a starting point. Any help???

You can also try Bodymotion Inc. (732) 493-2700 Located at 21 Cindy Lane, Ocean Twp., NJ 07712. They specialize in Porsches, but they also work on other vehicles. They are involved with PCA as well as with NASA. Hope this helps.

no not at all, but in order to realize the FULL potential of your coilover suspension...you would need it to be corner balanced...
