Ryan at Vakamon for corner weighing. Pacific Automotive and Alignment Center for a performance alignment. If you're looking for one, you need both. Period. Thus sayeth oldmansan.

I suppose one could make a case to do either first, but if your car isn't corner balanced first, would the alignment be as accurate? I'd rather have the corners closely matched and then align the car. Bear in mind that corner balancing doesn't mean each corner is weighed and all four corners are almost equal. It's way more complicated than that. That's why you need a four-corner scale with intelligence or four scales and a person with intelligence to make it all work. Ideally you'll sit in the car with your harnesses and helmet just as you'd track the car to get an accurate corner balance. I still have mine and my performance alignment numbers. I forgot the guy's name at Pacific Automotive and Alignment Center, but just look for the big guy. Scary big and as nice and professional as they come. I probably have his name in my glove compartment, but it's way too far from my beer. Don't try to use the marks on your coilovers to have "street and track" settings. I've been running -3.5 front and -2.5 rear for years. You will need to "flip" your tires rather than rotate them. The only shop that I had mine done at was right around the corner from Vakamon.
