umm im just curious to how you could ask that, but the answer is i have a square cabinet i want to sit on top of a flag pole and i figure if all the corners are balanced right it will work, why do you think i want to know who does corner balances. probably i want to get a car corner balanced.

Make sure they have a known-flat floor section (or a precision leveling pad setup) or else all your work and money will be for nothing. You just can't throw a set of scales on a garage floor and expect to corner balance a car, but I've seen a lot of people that don't really realize that.

Well because its a waste of time/money unless your all out drag or all out autocross/racing.

So back to the question, WHY?

I wanna know about this car that needs corner balancing. I would take the whim guess that you just wanted to do this and now that you know where to do it and why you need to do it, your not going to do it.

It's easy to do and not very expensive (it's only the time involved to do repetitive changes in coilover height), and will make any car handle better. It's not really necessary for a street car, no, but it can only make the car perform better. This sort of hinges on the assumption that the car has enough chassis stiffness and bracing to not be a wet noodle though. The stiffer the chassis, the more you need corner balancing.

If I had adjustable coilovers, I'd have corner balanced my car already, but I have access to a few sets of networked digital corner scales so it wouldn't cost me anything.

well 1st what concern is it of yours what i do with my car? weather is drag autocross or just waste money on something that sounds kool. 2nd is not for me its for someone who does auto cross and got new set of coilovers and wants to get his car corner balanced.

so my question to you is why do you have to know so bad?

cant you just sit and marvel at the fact that someone wants to do something to a car that serves no purpose and you want to be so right. but in all actuality you have no idea what you are talking about. if someone want to do something to there car what does it have to do with you.
