Is your car stock? If so, there's no need for a corner balance. If you have aftermarket coilovers I would recommend doing it any time you remove the coilovers or if you add or remove significant weight from the car.

haha ben, he was actually iffy about doing this at is house... coz that means the porsche and audi will stay outside for a whole day.
corner balancing is making sure that the weight of the car is distributed on all 4 tires, well not necessarily even. think of a chair with 4 legs being even on the ground.... if you car is not balanced, it's like a chair that has 1 or 2 legs not even and it rocks diagonally. so corner balancing is making sure all "4 legs" of you car is carrying the whole car evenly.... hence it has to be 50/50 cross weight. this will help a lot on the car's handling when turning.

put the car on 4 scales and adjust preloads to each springs.... or adjust shock length if they are too far off, meaning if the shocks arent even length to begin with.
