Evasive Motorsports does corner balancing I think. I've heard good things about West End Alignment too.

Give those two a shot. I'm not sure how far they are from where you're located though.

I do my own corner balancing, so I'm no help I guess. Are you planning some work for the G37?

A little known secret: try West End Alignment. This guy is the best in L.A., in my opinion. He is always booked so you need to call him 2 weeks in advance. He does not work on crappy cars...only sports cars or cars that the owner really cars about (i.e. do not take your beater Chevy van to him cause he will probably just say no). He only uses snap-on tools and torques everything by hand. The amazing thing...he is actually very cheap compared to other alignment shops! (Maybe that's why he's always booked).

Here is a link I found on yahoo to his phone/address:

West End Alignment, Gardena, CA : Reviews and maps - Yahoo! Local


^^Haha...just read some of the reviews and the one guy that gave him lower than a 5/5 was because he took in his '94 Crown Victoria and Darrin refused to work on it!
