Corner Balancing - Why No One Talks about it????

corner balancing is an effort to get cross-weights equal. having the front lower than the back (or vice versa) would not affect one's corner balance, only the front/back weight distribution.

if you have coils and care about handling, you should get corner balanced. it is primarily a track thing, since you have to make certain assumptions: weight of the driver, whether a passenger is present or not, how much gas is in the car, whether the spare is out or not, etc.

so, a corner balance for the track will not necessarily be perfect when you're taking your 300lb gf to in-and-out burger.

that having been said, a badly off corner balance can really adversely affect handling and braking. so, even if you don't track, you should at least make sure that your corner weights are not way off, if you have coils.
