All to often we see performance cars which had coil-over or race suspensions installed by another individual, technician, or facility that did not adjust them properly. We have seen cars vary by as much as 30% weight between the corners of its axis, thus making the car highly unstable in progressive driving. Don’t let this happen to you!
Ride Height Adjustment is far more complicated than just making sure the car sits at a certain height on level ground. Actually, a properly adjusted vehicle will have its ride height and thus Corner Weights (weight of car distributed per wheel or axis) slightly different at each corner in order to achieve proper weight distribution and compensate for the driver’s weight in the cockpit, while giving the car its maximum balance, best rake and lean (front to rear, and side to side stance) according to its design layout, roll center, and center of gravity.
Note: A vehicle must be properly aligned after any Ride Height & Corner Balancing because the adjustments have a direct effect on the toe, camber, and caster alignment angles of a vehicle.
