Default I will be getting an alignment soon i will probably play with the rebound a bit but it feels real

predictable to me. I said it in another thread but i came onto rt 3 in 2nd gear around a 180 degree turn and pinned it and the road beneath me was real rough and if the car was to bouncy it would have kicked up and lsot traction but it handled the rough bumps really well. I even took a turn pretty hard and hit a couple bumps and the car was a little twitchy but nothing i wouldnt expect from a stiff suspension any how.

what do you mean by corner balance? you mean try to set the weight of the car as completely neutral as possible?(same weight all four corners or front rear?

Default True...getting an equal percentage of the vehicle weight on each corner- ->

I drove the car with the TS's before and after the alignment and corner balance and can't tell you which had a greater impact..the corner balance or the alignment, but the two together were truly significant.

Default yea i would vote for alignment making a world of difference esp in NY i had my car aligned when i

put in my heavy duty tierods and the alignment made the car handle MUCH better. i have to get my ride height where i want it before the alignment though then im leaving it alone
