Where in Norcal are you? The guys at trackspec in fremont are the only guys I go to for any suspension related work. I had my Exige aligned and corner balanced there.

How about in the Sac area?

Custom Alignment in Mountain View for peninsula, little pricey though.

For what application? Track car? Everybody I've talked to, including actual team drivers, think corner balancing is a waste of money for street cars. The benefit is negated the moment you have a passenger, put stuff in the trunk, have 1/2 of gas etc, plus, your ride height will be all wonky just sitting there (it won't be "even" due to the weight distribution of the driver, gas, etc.)

I say save your money and get a good alignment and tires ;)

1/2 of gas? What you mean? I remember someone mentioning that but I forgot what the discussion was about.

the weight of your gas effects the balance of the car.

^this. The point I'm making is any change of weight (and it's location in the car) will affect your corner balance. It's alot of work and it's not cheap, but hey, it's your money not mine.

The only place I know IN SAC that will corner balance is Driving Ambition.

The owner, Shad, is somewhat of a NSX and S2000 specialist but he'll corner balance, dyno, or tune most anything.

Yeah, if you are not doing competitive driving, you probably can't tell a difference.
