I corner balanced mine a few months ago. I think in general street driving, you won't notice the difference over a standard alignment done correctly. If you do any sort of autocross or road course racing, it does make a difference. I'll try and dig up the paper with my stats on it. I had the car corner weighted with a full tank of gas. It was actually heavier in the rear than in the front.

for real road racing and autocross, corner weighting is a must.

for the street, don't bother.

If you don't have a set of fully adjustable coil over suspension like JIC MAGIC FLT A2's or APEXi N1 on you car then your not going to get very far with the weight once you find out what each corner is. You need to be able to adjust the pre load of your suspension to compensate for different weights at each corner.

Corner weighting and ride height are much easier to attain when preload and heigt are adjusted independently of each other. Just say no to helper springs.

i do have the jic flt a2 on my fd, that's what i want to know if it worth to spend the couple hundreds to do corner balance. most of my driving is on the street and track once or twice a month. are the FD general heavier on the rear?

I'd do it just cause you can and since you do occassionally visit the track I'd do it. Shit I would do it on my street car if you go canyon carving.
