I looked it up slightly after the conversation and kind of got what it was and was also questioning what he meant by corner balancing if I dont have coilovers but.. I wonder what he has to say about it. From just playing around with the koni's I feel like it only adjusts how much shock it absorbs if im understanding that correctly.. and I feel like I need to also talk to a few to see if its setup correctly.. This friday im going in to get everything checked out.. luckily my alignment is not off by much at all its barely noticeable but my steering wheel is off center lol

Yeah, you can only corner balance with adjustable height. He probably thought you said you had adjustable koni/h&r coilovers or something. No big deal... Typically they throw some weight n the front seat that's equal to your weight and then adjust the height in each corner for proper cross/side to side splits and all that. I had it done once along with a race alignment and the car handled very well as a complete package but its not a deal breaker.

Yea if you are poor and stupid. I hope that was an sarcastic statement.


If you have coilovers and do not have the suspension corner balanced, then you are not using coilover technology properly and THAT is a big waste of money itself. Sure ride height adjust ability is one of the features of coilovers, but it does not mean that it was made intended for users to lower their car to for visual form. Buying coilover technology to only use part of its full functionality is a waste of money. This goes out to the majority of coilover consumer users...................... *facepalm for the Tuna*

Thus why I didnt go with coilovers. I knew I wouldnt use the full potential of them even if I did do everything to install them correctly. I dont autox enough lol I do currently love my setup and will be loving it even more quite soon with a few extra things ordered. (Then ill be done for a while!)

I was gonna say, you are probably at the point where you should just be driving. YOU should be the one to tell the shop how you want it setup, not the other way around at some point.
