How does corner balancing affect the coilover height?

 

when you shift weight laterally you raise the car on one side or wheel to level out the weight transfer. IE my car is higher on left side without me in it.

 

Gotcha... So when they corner balanced it, you were sitting in the car..

 

yes sir. with car at track prep and helmet with my tank at where i wanted it to be at. with a 49.7 percent balance i am happy with that.

 

Yup, you always want to get corner blanced with the weight of the driver in the car, you want it balanced exactly how the car will be when it's driven.

All good, its just plastic I guess...

When I put my new wheels on, I was rubbing on the top metal bolt in the wheel well that screws the fenders in. I took it out though, and am now looking for a plastic head replacement to put in there.

Anyone know where I can find one? Or even what Im referring too?

 

Yeah... I'm sure you can buy a plastic screw from a local hardware store, Home Depot, or Lowes.

Are you running any spacers on your car?

 

If your talking about the rear ones, we usually just cut down the metal bolts a bit..

Wait wait wait...

Okay Im talking about the one metal bolt:

-If you are on the driver side of the front wheel well looking dead on they are located at about 1-2 oclock. I took them out, but I need to find a screw or solution to put something back in there.

Varals, looks really nice buddy. Keep it that height...you rubbing bad?

 

Looks great. That's how I was dropped before but had the rub issues..

 

I'm actually not having any rubbing issues at all... I tightened my suspension a little bit so it wouldn't dip as much on the interstate.

My mudguard underneath the car will scrap sometimes, but thats whatever...I can have it shaved a little bit, but it rarely does to where its not worth it..

I'll see... over longterm I'm driving to Memphis, TN and Oxford, MS for the weekend.

 

mine took about 2 weks to settle and they definitely went lower. do another alignment once they settle.
even though they vary from the F to the IS350 but i like mine on 5 clicks harder on the rear than the front. I have the sway bar so that might make a difference, I just feel like tat way the car is more comfy and more neutral on turns

 

if you corner balance it dont loose any weight. it will mess up the handling

 

Oh I gotcha now....

How about trying one of the engine push in clips??

or something similiar to it...
