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?
