corner balancing isnt about front/back ratio. its to balance the car between the sum of corner weights of the diagonal pairs.

and yeah, once you mess with the ride height, you change everything, including alignment as mentioned.

honestly, you guys shouldnt have even paid for a corner balance and asked for them to just adjust the ride heights even. the s2000 is so well weight distributed, it doesnt need messing around with corner balancing. you wouldnt notice it if it wasnt anyway, as mentioned too.

just get an alignment. and know whenever you ever change the ride heights, you have also messed with your alignment.
On a stock car not getting much track use I'd agree. Even on a stock car with just the coilovers. But when you start added super chargers, swapping exhausts remove the spre, adding subs etc. THen it is worth doing IMHO

I did mine yesterday, having shaved ~50 kgs off and done all the above the corner weights were miles out. I managed to get it to 50.2% on the front so not bad!

i feel its worth doing too..but you have to do it right no half ass crap or like other people have said you'll screw the whole thing up. whenever you mess with ride height you should do an alignment...whenever you touch the suspension you should do an alignment. common sense.
