corner weight balance
corner weight balance
after corner weight balance, is it normal to to have a car to look a little crooked? gap btwn wheel and fender is completely off after the weight balance and it look car is tilted to one side...
that is without me in the car, it is tilted down to passenger side.
i raised the front driver side coilover and it's look all even(same distance from ground to the fender). weird that it's equal weight with me in the car but it just looks tilted to passenger side, like 1/4inch...

Yes, it's normal. Not all 4 corners have the exact same weight. If that were the case there would be no need to corner balance.
In order to get the weights the same, you have to adjust the heights individually which will lead to uneven-ness.

You realize that if you adjust the height your weight will no longer be balanced. I'm not sure you should be messing with this stuff at this point...

i wrote down how many turn i had to lower on the coilover, so...hoping if i turn back just like before, it would be close to where it was...
what coilovers are you on. Normally coilovers with adjustable bottom brackets wont mess with your height as much.
Usually running on KW or something liek that it is more prone but then they can adjust the weight transfer from all four corners so that they can be balanced.
A good shop that is meticulous will contantly adjust all four corners, and shops that do a quick cornerbalance will just do the bare minimum to balance it, and that can look like a more drastic difference in the rideheight on the 4 different corners.

First you set all heights even where you want overall ride height at the center of the car, then adjust rake to desired handling characteristic or spring rate (ie; RF and LF even then RR and LR even), then you adjust for corner weight.
With evos it is typical for the RF to be lower because it is the heaviest corner of the car.

Here it is afterwards, balanced on the diagonals:
I really don't think its normal to have the stance noticeably out of whack. It would take quite a bit of weight transfer to throw the numbers off enough to visibly change the gaps. Normally if the car is set with a tape measure before the scales it will be fairly close as long as you didn't rake the crap out of the car.
Make sure the sway bars were disconnected before weighting. Make sure you or your weight is in the drivers seat and decide how much fuel you want in the car before hitting the scales.
