Understeer due to TT??

Has anyone else noticed understeer since installing the gtm tt setup? My guess is its due to the extra weight up front and maybe even the swift springs as well.

What are the benifits of corner balancing, and how exactly does one do so?

This. If you've got hotchkis sways, then go to the next stiffer setting. Give that a try before you do anything that costs money like changing parts.

Bumping up the pressure a few pounds in the rear tires will also balance it out at the cost of a little grip.

Corner balancing with proper spring rate adjustments is always a great idea, so those that suggested it are absolutely correct.

However, just going to the next stiffer setting on your adjustable rear bar will probably get you what you're looking for, unless you're looking to lower your lap times significantly. In which case, go get corner weighted and either do the math yourself on spring rates or enlist the help of an experienced motorsports shop.
