I am thinking of setting up my home garage for corner balancing (and possibly alignment for adjusting camber and toe if I get camber plates) as I optimize my car on the skid pad. I intend to do this with the aid of a data acquisition system (DAS). How difficult is this is to do corner balancing?

My thought was that you could get 4 calibrated scales and then place them level on your floor using blocks as shims and level them using a laser level. This should work. Is this ridiculous or does it make sense?

What about doing my own alignment at least form the toe and camber stand point? My thoughts would be to set up gauges (long true bars and mark my floor from a known alignment position. Using some geometry, I could mark my floor and determine positions for camber and toe. OK, have I gone off the deep end and skip this crap or might it be fun and really worth while? Cary, I’m especially looking for your input.

Craig Watkins is a well-known racer/engineer on the West Coast, and he designs some great products, one of which is a DIY camber kit.

Good luck!

If anyone knows of a top quality shop that can corner balance and adjust height on a Turbo w/PPS9 coliver suspension I would greatly appreciate the help .


It need to be in South Florida .



Thanks ...

Hey Harv, can't help you there.... but I strongly recomend you have a professional tuner do your set-up and any lowering at the same time! You will probably need to re-do your alignment after your suspension sets!
