Corner Balancing

Here's an article I did for Vintage Motorsport magazine a few years back. It's a basic guide to corner balancing. You really can't believe the difference this makes. Any number of people here will attest to that.

Thanks for the article Richard. I have been wondering what corner balancing is and now I know.

Very enlightening and well timed, as I'm approaching this stage soon.
What is the appropriate type and source of weight, it's attachment method and location on a IB 911?

Hi Charles,

You do not add any weights, you adjust the ride height at the appropriate wheel to jack the weight to the other wheels.

Be sure who ever does this, they include your weight in the drivers seat.

FWIW-I had Jeff G do my car. Came out great.
