And...an even better place for this question....

Hello, new member here (well soon to be).  I just picked up some coilovers and need to do some corner balancing and was referred here to maybe find someone locally that has access to some I could borrow/rent/come by and use with you for a little cash or beer or both or something.  If anyone can help me out, its appreciated!

Twin State Speedway has a set of scales. I bet a little ass kissing would get you some private time with them.

I need to corner balance my CRX so maybe we can both work something out with them.

I just emailed their head tech guy. I've known him for 5 years so we'll see where that gets us.

D+E,  there is a good deal of technique and process that goes into corner weighting a car (especially a street car).  I suggest that rather than try to do it for your self the first time you ask if you can assist in the corner balancing of you car the first time it is done.  If you are interested, I can do it with you.  I am not located in NH, but the drive will definitely be worth the trouble.  Reach me at 413 267 0904.  Bill Gendron

I'll second that.  You won't be disappointed going to Bill's shop.  He's a class act and the extra effort he will give you is worth every penny.  I won't have my car aligned anywhere else for that matter.  Bill's advice, experience and practical know-how has been invaluable to my efforts over the past few years. And you'll have a guy that really cares about you going faster.

I'll give you a ring tomorrow Bill.

It all comes down to the bottom line for me and this car. I spent a good deal of money on the roll cage and I still need to buy more safety equipment prior to the hillclimb season so my budget is already starting to stretch more than I had planned.
