We are now offering corner weight balancing service, basic setup starts at $150 for most Evos. Also able to weigh the car with the digital scales. Call or PM if you have any questions.

Thanks!

I just got this done a few weeks ago, and wow amazing.

Cory had the car balanced fairly quick and $150 for a full corner balance is peanuts. Last time I had my car corner balanced at another shop I was charged $400

 

damn I need my coilovers back

 

This is going to sound "newbeeish" but what is corner weight balancing?

 

it's when you stand in the corner on one leg for being bad!



yeah, I have no clue either. I wanna guess it has something to do with suspension adjustment

 

Corner balancing is when you set each of your car's 4 tires on 4 seperate scales. They each come up with different weights. You adjust your coilover heights to make all 4 corners equal or very close in terms of weight.

 

This is how it works, this is by far a very basic explanation just to help understand what corner balancing is, there is alot more to it, but this is just the idea behind it.

Let's say you have coilovers on your Evo. There are four corners to the car - four wheels. Let's say the front passenger wheel for some reason is carrying 500 lbs of the car, the driver side front wheel is carrying 750 lbs, the rear is similarly offset, there is no balance.

By "corner balancing" you can adjust the suspension for a good cross balance between each wheel, and also front, rear and etc; you basically establish equality so one wheel for example is not carrying a heavier weight than the others.

This makes a fairly dramatic difference on how the car handles, again, there's alot more you can adjust and different ways to achieve the right weights, but the idea is to balance all four corners.

 

Thanks^ I appricate you dumbing it down for me...

I'll be contacting you about building my car this winter.

 

How do you compensate for the driver when doing this?

 

We have a 100lb+ pitbull mix that we put in the passenger seat.

No, but really though, bag it or if the customer is a very large fellow he might have to sit in the car while we balance it; it is not a very long procedure.

 

wow $150 for corner balancing??!!?? Local going rate is like $500... you got slave labor over there? lol

 

Yes.

 

hahahaha

 

by adjusting the coilovers to corner balance... what happens to the heights don't they get goofy?

 

I'm pretty sure they are small adjustments. There's not going to be like 1/2 inch difference in height.
