I need some advice for corner balancing my car.
My MCS is going in tomorrow for an alignment and corner balancing.
I would like to know how you setup your car for the corner balance.
I am thinking more of having my weight in the drivers seat included when they corner balance it since I will drive it more often by myself in an auto x or on the track I hope.

I am good on the settings for toe and camber...there are enough threads about it to read.

Thanks,

Alex

 

Yes, definately should be balanced with you in the car. At least add your weight in the drivers seat and I usually took 30 lbs of that weight and put in foot well.

Assume you have coil-overs or not much sense in trying to balance weight.

Of course your never going to get weights exact but for right & left turns try to get both fronts & rears as close as you can. Usually if total combined weight of R/F + L/R = 10% of L/F + R/R your going to be OK.

 

i'ts really the only way to set up your coilovers and you want to use the standard performance driving conditions as far as driver weight, tire pressure, 1/2 tank of gas, no spare or tools. First, set your ride height to what you want as an average, trying to make each front side the same and each rear side the same, measuring from a fixed point on the frame to the ground (and the ground has to be level within 1/8")


then it is just a matter of adjusting spring perches to equalize your diagonals weight sums. You cannot change the F to R ratio without moving ballast. What makes it tricky is that you typically have to jack up the car to adjust the perch, set it down, roll it back and forth a foot or two to eliminate tire scrub and then re-weigh.

 

Got my balancing done.
Thanks guys for the infos....I really appreciate it.
