Default Adjustments after cornered balanced

Being I've already cornered balanced my car I need to raise it just a turn or so on the front left. Will this throw off the corner balance any and if so, is it very little being I only need one full turn.

you probably wont notice it. did the spring settle/sag a little bit? wat was the ride height when you got the car corner balanced? is it any different?

It settle a little more well after the CB. Plus being this is the side I sit on. I just get a little rubbing on hard dips in the road but not when cornering. Some times I here the control arms hit the inside fenders on hard transition when going over bridge overpasses. I just need a little more travel. I have my coilovers really stiff also.

i suggest you raise it as far as you need to and get it corner balanced again. then measure the height of each corner and jot it down somewhere. that way you can re measure and adjust later to the height it needs to be as the springs settle further.

street cars needs travel... i dont recommend lowering it too much nor stiffening it too much. looks silly too when you have to slow down to 10mph just to go over a little bump while regular cars and stock Z's are going over them at 55mph.

I have all the measurements written down and the FL is a little lower. I just didn't want to get in to details. It's not that bad. Just needs that little finese. It's basically perfect besides that little scenario.
