Corner balance needed with used coilovers?
Hey guys. I just picked up a set of BC BR type coilovers from a fellow ralliart owner today. Now I know I'll need an alignment after the install, but considering they were just on another ralliart 2 days ago, would I really need a corner balance if it was done for the last RA?

What's your intended use/need?
In general, corner balance is not needed on any coilover if you're just daily driving. Set the heights relatively even on all four corners and be on your way.

Like LateBraking said,
if you measured the before and after height on every corner (center fender to floor). then you have a base at which to setup the coilovers.
Usually you want to drop all corners the same height, 1.5" inches for example.
If you put more of a drop in the front for a slight rake then that will effect handling.
Corner balancing is not needed for street setup but it can correct handling caused by improper height setups if a base height was never taken.
Its just a long process so shops usually charge a good amount to do it.
