    corner balancing a street car.....?

    id like to get it done ( im 180lbs) but sometimes i do have friends in the car and my best friend is pushing 300lbs. i cant be riding crooked. is it even worth it? i do some spirited driving and track racing 2 times a year.

    yeah, sure you'll see an improvement; though its not going to be measurable on the street. And don't worry about your friend, corner balance for you driving & the car set for race day. AKA, have all the things removed as per the requirements of track days (anything not bolted down).

    I agree that on a street car you will not notice anything. The average street car has far too much chassis flex to see the benefits. So on 'paper' it'll be nicely balanced, but numbers will look like scrambled eggs when going full tilt. There are gains, but the effectiveness isn't as great as a race car with a stiff chassis. If the money to corner balance means nothing to you, then do it. Otherwise save it for something else.
