Default Corner weight balancing

Has anyone done corner weight balancing after installing their coilovers or simply just a wheel alignment? Also would anyone be able to rent or borrow out some corner weight scales for a weekend located somewhere around Sydney. I thought if you were going to buy coilovers for the S2000 you might as well install them correctly and not ruin the 50:50 weight distribution Honda worked so hard for.

Do you have the screw boot adjustment on the base or only adjustable via the preload on the spring.

Base adjustable. Meaning it will take longer to corner balance, but it won't effect your pre load settings on your springs. Much better option.

Unless you're really tracking heavily it wouldn't make much of a difference imo.

I'm with mezza on this one. Even spirited driving wont show the difference unless your about 100kg out per corner. Provided the chassis is a consistent high to the ground all the way around you should be close enough.

Ah alright, in that case I'll just leave it alone.

Yeah I'll just leave it alone if that's the case. I have the car sitting evenly on all fours
