I wouldn't worry about corner balancing a street car, either, but this explanation is a bit of an over-simplification, Tyson. I prefer this as the short explanation: "The goal of corner balancing is to obtain the same front/rear weight distribution on one side of the car as the other, with the vehicle in racing trim."

Do a search in this forum on "corner balance" and you will find a lot of previous discussion, Speedy1.
