So, corner balancing is usually done when your getting aligned and in simple terms it basically raises/lowers all the corners accordingly to reach a 50/50 cross balance on the vehicle. Also, I would recommend to get it done with a half tank of gas so your as balanced as possible. A good shop will even balance and align your car based on the drivers weight too!

You just tell them you like the height where it is and when they balance it the changes are literally minimal and you wont really notice. Also, you might be able to get away without having to cut anything with a camber of -2.2 or more in the front.

I'll try and take pictures tomorrow of the amount I cut (before my balance/alignment) which eliminated the issue. I just want you to get the balance alignment done first because it may stop the rubbing all together. Its still going to be VERY close.

Hope this helps...
Thanks for the tip! Yes, I'd love to see pictures. Did you take your car to a specific shop or just some place like Just Tires or NTB?

I used to have a gto, along with my boss. We both rolled our fenders, mine came out fine, his paint flaked up. Just gotta have the touch I guess

Kidding, don't risk your paint.

Euro Tire in NJ, they are kinda famous for how good they are. They setup a ton of track Porsche's. I mean alot of places that do alignment can do balancing, but I guess some just do it alot better than others.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Time for me to do a little researching around the local area and see who has a good rep for balancing and alignment.

"I was told the results would have probably been about +5 whp if it had been done in 5th gear. "

Then why didn't they do it in 5th?
