Thanks Jim! This is the kind of info I was seeking. I have coilovers 
(new-ish before the track accident) on an '88 80Q. I'm still within the 
first year of putting them on, plus the accident damaged some pieces of 
the suspension -- just not the coils or struts, that I am aware of. 

I wasn't sure what corner balancing was and did not realize weighting was 
involved.

Where are the corner weights typically placed?
