most shops do overcharge for corner balancing. it is very straight forward to do.

now if you consider a c6 corvette running nasa st2, where youre not allowed to convert the rear to springs and keep the factory leaf spring setup; than that gets a bit tricky. one of my buddys runs c6's on motons and has to keep the rear leaf spring setup. total pita to corner balance.

I'm not sure what's up with that, but to remedy this, i just raised the driver's front coil up 13/16" and it evened out the front. The rear is the same problem, except it's the passenger rear that's lower than the other side. I have yet to take measurements of the difference, but it looked to be around 1/2".
Can anyone explain why my suspension is like this? It can't be stock. I just can't seem to figure out how it's happening either. Both pairs of coils were measured prior to installation, and were not altered after they were put it.

Thanks

This is an old post, but I had the same issue with the rear. Mine was almost 3/4 " off. And I did pre measure the lengths and mead shure the springs we set correctly.
