    Default Who can corner balance?

    What shop here in the ATL area can do this? I had been really considering having a shop do this to my car.

    Talk to Arthur at Dynolab. Last time I did it, he had Blake's scales there. He might still have them. He can corner balance.

    i dont think Gran Turismo East has scales? I thought they only could do the aligments.

    If GTE has scales then i would go to them.

    Weight or not, Ive been told that, even if only a 30-40 pound adjustment has to be made, an immediate improvement in the cars handling will be felt. Also, when any major amount of suspension work has been done that the car should be checked for corner balance. Am I wrong? Someone educate me if I am. This is a fuzzy area for me.

    The biggest factor with corner balancing, is spring rate. The right springs mean everything.

    I had **** load of suspension work on my G (prep for full track - coil, sways, struts, race spec upper arm, etc.) and I still haven't corner balance it yet. I'll do so when I change the weight of my car by going FI or engine swap.

    For your car, it's not needed.

    But if you must, I think Forged Performance can do it. Tell them Kevin Nguyen with the Red G35 sent u. Sharif can elaborate on this topic more than I can

    If I need coilovers or adjustable spring perches I dont mind waiting till I get that to get it corner balanced. I mean its 90 bucks, it doesnt hurt right? Thats not a lot of money, and if it helps handling 1 percent, its worth it to me.


    The problem is I noticed i have a lot of adjustable suspension pieces, from sways to DSpec adjustables. I dont want to jack aroudn with it myself. Mods are listed in the sig as you can see its mostly suspension, and there really is nothing left for me to do

    Unless you have coilovers you can't really corner balance the car...well without adding weight anyway. You aren't going to be able to tell a diffrence unless you drive like you are on a race track all the time...on the edge of traction.
