Hi all. I thought it would be helpful to post Mark Jorgenson's ( Woodhouse Performance Guru ) description of the process of corner balancing. I beleive that this process is especially important to those of us who have chosen to add weight to the front of the car by the installation of a supercharger. Without this process, the car, especially with the extra power, has a greater tendancy to snake bite. See description below. It pertains to a Viper that has Eibachs and Motons but is equally applicable to other similar applications.
"When we corner balance a car we start out by driving the car for a short distance to seat in the springs and shocks, then once on the rack we loosen all the bolts slightly to insure there is no binding and set the overall ride height front and rear and the rake. From there we put the car up on the scales and adjust the corners to get the weight at the cross corners as close to 50 -50 as we can with the drivers estimated weight in the seat. This process will change the look of the wheel well heights on each corner slightly but is necessary to balance the car. After all the balancing is done we start the alignment process insuring the settings are where we need them and the toe patterns are good front and rear through the bump curve. With all the specialty tools to do this job it is very time consuming and when done right really transforms the handling of the car."
