Alignment/CB questions

As a newbie to P-car and having no prior knowledge of these cars inner workings, this sight and it's members have been priceless !

From what i have read this past 2 weeks, it's clear that "corner balancing" is imperative to the cars handling and/or drivability.

I'm looking for any recommendation for an alignment shop that can do the CB as well in the Philadelphia area.

Not exactly sure what the CB is (i have an idea but prolly wrong).

If anyone knows a shop that can be trusted in my area, please let me know.

There are a lot of threads on CB... simply do a search ( button on top) and enter key words. Add my name and Randy Blaylock too in the word search.

Corner balancing is not absolutely necessary for a street car, but do keep the weights within 20-40 lbs ( max difference) side-to-side as a minimum....

Finer cuts at corner balance help out mostly on the track...

This was more to try to locate a competent alignment shop than to define the CB.

thanks, Karl

I haven't used these guys, but their shop is filled with very fast cars. They do have a good reputation, but I don't know about the $$$.
