interesting read about corner balance/suspension

http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Performa...nerbalance.htm

I found it very informative and cleared a lot of questions about how the suspension works.

Klub, I found that to be some very useful information. If I was planning to takem y car to the track, that would be some AWESOME info to help with setting things up.

Luck for me a bike is a little easier...

yup, it is amazing how corner balancing and alignment only can affect amount of grip and balance ur car gets. U see lots of people doing expensive suspension mods on their cars but they forget one of the key things to make it all work.

Do any of the shops(Forged, GTM, VTR, MRC, etc) do this for an added cost? George, didn't sound like you knew about this.

I just had it done this week. Also had my rear camber kit installed at the same time. The car feels more stable, and you don't feel like you're fighting the car in the corners.

I can't say that my handling improved with coilovers, but I can say it improved with corner balancing.

Exactly, before my coilovers i was running springs and i swear with springs it handled much better than with coilovers with no corner balancing. I was very dissapointed when i first put them on but after yesterday its like driving a totally different car... starting from steering all the way to its limits.
