it costs anywhere from $100-$150. Having a stiffer ride does not necessarily mean it handles better. Have u pushed the car before and after the coilovers in very familiar roads?

I was wondering about this as well. Corner balancing seems like one of those things you really need if you want to get the most bang for your buck out of coilovers, but it also seems like something 90% of people overlook.

Most of the guys on here just slap on their coilovers, slam their ride down to the ground, and call it a day.

Likewise I am also weighing the pros and cons of corner balancing because I'd really be buying coilovers to give me the drop I want, not necessarily for auto crossing. However I would enjoy increased handling and if corner balancing makes a drastic difference, I don't see the problem with dropping $200 on it. After all I'm not going to be adjusting height ever again after I set it...

when they corner balance it, do they adjust the height too or just the dampening?

Please post your before/after balancing coupe corner weights, heights and any mods that significantly changed your OEM weights or heights. Thanks
