Ride height after corner balancing
 
For anyone that's had their car corner balanced, just wondering what their ride height's were. I know its going to vary from car to car a bit, but its not like anyone is moving center of gravity massively.

Thanks in advance.

You set the ride height before you corner balance the car without the sway bars connected. You then corner balance the car. As far as ride heights afterwards, they will change due to adjusting the weight jackers on each corner. Even more so if you corner balance with the drivers weight in the front seat. My car is corner balanced with 200lbs in the drivers seat. My driver and passenger side ride heights are different.

Yes, its my understanding you adjust ride height at each corner to balance. Just wondering what each corner ends up being. Just looking for a ballpark, since driver weight and exact car specs will differ.

Just spend the money and get it corner balanced. It is a night and day difference in the handling department. One thing my car doesn't like is heavy passengers. Same weight as me or lower is fine. 250lbs and up is a no go. Car starts to handle really bad.

Thanks.
Is this the "before" specs? It doesn't look like they changed anything for the sake of balance?? But I don't know how balanced the 370Z can actually get.

Nope, after specs.
