I'm getting all the non-compliance pieces that SoS has installed on my car in the next week. After which, I'll be getting a full alignment and corner balance from one of the local racing shops. However, I'm also going to have a CTSC installed within the next month and I was wondering if I needed to have the car rebalanced after adding 50lbs so high up on the engine on the passenger side?
The importance of corner balancing

Corner balance after everything else is done.
Brian, what suspension are you using?
One can only corner balance by adjusting the ride height with coilovers. I thought you only have springs and aftermarket shocks??
Where are you bringing your car for corner balancing? Speedware??

Corner balancing only makes the diagonal weights equal. It physically doesn’t move weight around. Diagonal weights that are not equal will make the vehicle handle differently turning to the left as compared to the right. For instance, it might oversteer to the left and understeer to the right. Technically, the car should be readjusted after any change, including new sets of tires. I am not that anal, but definitely wait until you are done making mods to the car.
Make sure you align the car with weight in the driver’s seat, and then leave the weight in the car during the corner balancing. One side of the each anti-roll bar (ARB) needs to be disconnected, have about one-half tank of fuel, and the tires need to be at proper “hot” pressures when you corner weigh. After the adjustments and with the weight still in the driver’s seat, reattach the ARBs with no preload.
