I have done suspension mods on my 65 falcon more times then I can count, but this aint no 65 ford so it will be a new learning experience for me. I appreciate any tips or pointers on installation. You guys are some of the most knowledgeable car owners out there.Thanks

Corner weighting (corner balancing) your car allows it to handle evenly through both left and right turns; in essence, equalizing how much weight gets transferred during cornering. As you enter a corner, weight is transferred from the inside to the outside wheels.

This weight is always transferred diagonally across the car. As an example, the more weight taken off the right rear tire, the more weight gets loaded on the left front tire. Too much weight transfer disturbs the balance of the car and reduces the tire's grip. Since weight is transferred diagonally, balance is achieved by transferring weight from the front to the back, or from the back to the front diagonally across the car.
