By adjusting the spring tension and/or height. It wasn't the "funnest" thing I've ever done, ... it involved a lot of guess work for us b/c we've never done it before. BUT, it's easier now that we did it once. I'd be glad to explain it better in person, ... I'm a bit tired now.
I have no idea how a stock WRX comes from the factory, ... but I think it's a safe bet to say that No, it is not going to be corner-balanced very good.

.... it'd be cool if someone with a stock car (or close) would come down will we're doing this, then we'd have a reference or number to give people when they ask.

San
figure a couple hours at most. We took 2 hours or so on Mike's car, ... but there was a bunch of yelling and breaking things going on too!! lol!!


I Will make an Appointment schedule for everyone once I know How many people want to do this.
Obviously, we can only do so many cars on Saturday, ... so we will definitely be doing this again as a regular service (like when people buy their coilovers and get them put on in the shop, etc, etc)

I think this thing Sean and Mike got going on is a good thing I have no experience with corner weighing a car but from what my friend said it is worth it to have it done if you have coilovers. He claims to be able to notice a difference in handleing charactertics but he really only uses his car for Auto-X. So if you got time take your car down there and let them do it...

Won't be able to make it this weekend. Hopefully when you folks have the next one or better yet after I get my suspension installed sometime next year.

Here is an interesting read related to this though:
