Thread: Corner balance?

  1. #1

    Default Corner balance?

    Anyone on the east side of DFW got some scales they would let me borrow? Or someone open on Saturday who would let me use a set and tinker with my coilovers a bit? Don't imagine it would take more than a hour.

    Anybody have any recommendation on where to take the car for some scales?

    I don't think anyone is going to lend your scales. They are expensive and easily damaged.

    Texas track works does great corner balancing in South fort Worth.

    I am willing to pay someone at this point but TTW is over a hour away which is further than I care to drive.

    Call Cobb. With scales running $1k+, I agree with David that nobody is likely to just lend them. Why is it that you feel like you need corner balancing? In general, it makes a very small difference, and only on cars with the ability to be adjusted in all areas of the suspension (sway bars, coilovers, etc.)

    The car is due for a alignment, so I wanted to get it balanced first. I may end up paying a place to do the corner balance and alignment but had planned to do the alignment myself with some help.

    I just added Xida coilovers and have adjustable endlinks already.

    I have replaced a ton of parts from the last time you saw my car, it will drive completely different this season. Most of the tuning left to do is going to be the nut behind the wheel now....

    Cobb can corner balance and align it. Drop it off, tell them your weight so they can match it in the driver seat when the balance and align it.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Then why corner balance? Better to spend money on drivers development or seat time.
