YES! corner weigh balancing is important... no! u cant just measure the height at each corner... read my previous post...
height of each corner does not mean the car is balanced... read my previous post and u'll understand why....
ah got another quote from a place 5mins from my place, said they will probably be able to do it for $400 with install, alignment and corner balancing.
SOund reasonable?
I installed my tien coilovers myself...and then had a wheel alignment done...$60 all up
Interesting to hear this about "breaking" in the coilovers so to speak...I set mine to the lowest setting and have never turned back...lol
The manual doesnt mention anything about a breaking in period...i guess if it were an important issue, they would mention it, as they do mention a lot of safety precautions in the manual...(one being not to set it to the lowest ride height as it may cause damage to your vehicle...yeah, underbody damage from all the speed bumps...lmao)
corner balancing make a massive difference to the way your car handles, you would be way suprised when you hit the twisties stuff before and after,
its worth the extra money to do it, after all why buy coilover if you dont take advantage of them, if you want a lower car buy springs
What kind of places do corner balancing??? The same shops that do wheel alignments???
yep.
the way they usually do it is by 4 scales, 1 for each corner of the car. They can tell how much weight is at each corner this way.
Nup, I doubt that you would find corner balancing services at a bob jane or the sorts.Quote:
