Eurotire on Rt 46 does good work. I haven't had an alignment from them yet though.

I second their work. They've done excellent work for me in the past.

Default Someone care to explain the importance of corner balancing?

What does it entail? Why would you do it?

Default *putting on flame suit*

with a full coilover setup its as imprtant to get the car weighted properly at all 4 corners for balance purposes. it also takes into account the weight of the driver.

With a fixed suspension you don't have the option of corner balancing the car so you could in theroy be running with extra weight on on-side of the car etc.
so i guess if you're willing to pay extra for a coil-over you should take advantage of probably a very small perfomance gain.

i'm by no means the expert and if i've misspoken please feel free to correct.
