Corner Balancing and Alignment

Hey guys that are dropped on springs, coils, did you do corner balancing and is it worth doing if I don't track?

Where's a good place to do an alignment, i'm assuming must of you guys that did do a drop did an alignment as well, any recomendations?

dales charges 90 bucks...

Ask for Jason... He gives you the setup that fits you most if you need any adjustments,
or questions regarding how your car is handling @ track or autox, he will re-adjust accordingly and also give u a fair bit of knowledge for those who arent that familiar with suspension tuning...

IMO better than many of the alignment shops that just AUTOMATICALLY give you OEM spec settings, even though majority will want that, this way incase you do spirited driving and want something a little more than OEM, it will save u the trip from going back too soon

Corner weight balancing is not. Some people who do not like their car to look like all 4 corners are dropped unevenly should not even think about a corner weight balance at all! Mainly to balance the weight for the car they use the height of the vehicle to distribute the weight.
If sitted a passenger or 2 in the car it will also upset the inital corner weight balance..
