corner balance, can you feel a difference?

[sillyme]

i'm thinking about getting my car aligned and corner balance all in the same day by the same shop. is it worth the extra money? i have full coilovers. can you feel the difference?

What do they charge?

Whether you'd notice depends on how far off it is now. I once had a coil-over sleeve get stuck one inch from where it was supposed to be and didn't have time to adjust the other side to match, so I did the event with totally FU'ed corners. Even if I hadn't known it, I would have noticed, since the car turned left so much better than right. (Can you say NASCAR weight-jacking?) In contrast, I've often run with one sleeve a full turn off and couldn't "feel" the difference. YMMV, of course, since your butt-dyno/butt-g-sensor may be better than mine.

I run JIC coilovers that I ran for a couple months. I then corner balanced them and couldn't *feel* a difference.

feel is all relative. just like the butt-dyno. if you plan on tracking your car, i think it is worth the money. it's usually like $20-30 more for me
