Right......... If u have coilovers for looks only yes it is seriously overrrated. If u want them to perform better than any set of springs out there corner balance is a must. I will guarantee u that any set of coilovers without corner balance will not perform better times on a road course than just ur regular 150-200 dollar springs. No go ahead and skip corner balancing.

entry level junk "JDM: coilover won't get you anywhere....sure, you have 5,635 way adjustable and infinite height adjustablility. Most of them are overdamp in compression and underdamp in rebound. Don't lie, I know most of you swear the hype JDM stuff is the bomb.

Go ahead, do your corner balancing.... hop into the car after your "balancing", drive around the block and get back on the weight pad and tell me what's your cross weight afterward.

If you still have interior in your car, don't worry about corner balancing.
If you still drive that car one the street, don't worry about corner balancing.
If you still have most of your suspension bushings in rubber or urethane, don't worry about corner balancing.
If you do your "trackday" or HPDE and STILL running street tires, don't worry about corner balancing...

Instead, get a good solid alignment, pay for good rubber, hit up the track, and stop spreading ignorance on internet.

Mind to share and enlighten me why you think what I said is ignorant and misinform? What's your creditial?

I've search most of the posts that you've made, most of them are off-topic sex related topic, you have read a corner balancing thread on nsxprime, and you asked about BC coilover vs JIC magic. Nothing of them share information about your track history, or knowledge share about suspension.

I graduated as a Mechanical Engineer from Georgia Southern University, I had 2 years experience with Formula SAE, in fact I'm the head of the suspension team for both years. I'm the moderator of freshalloy.com in 240sx section, and currently I'm the point leader in SCCA solo2 STX class in coastal empire region.

Don't tell me to STFU, unless you have solid information to tell me that I'm wrong.

Back on topic:

I'm serious, having the right tires, tire pressure, and alignment are the most important thing in suspension setup. Corner balancing is so minor and most racer won't get too caught up with it.
