With a really capable suspension, such as yours, corner balancing allows you to really take full advantage of it.

I agree there are definitely benefits from corner balancing. I'll just have to find a shop as good as RRT to do it!

I do like to tinker with my alignment though, so maybe I'll find it by trial and error as well. James recommended a track alignment setting and a street alignment setting. I'm also thinking of changing the alignment by reading the tire temperature at each specific track

The car looks fantastic! How do you find the ET22 wheel? Apex was recommending 18 x 9.5 ET35 for most people.

What tire are you running for the track as well? I bet it's more difficult to put down all the power your super charger makes

The motons must have slightly different physical dimensions. My setup is slightly funny, the fronts are as long as they can be, and the rear is as high as they can be. My current 13.4" F 12.75"R ride height is pretty good to me. I'll have to take her out on a track for a few times and decide if I need to go a bit lower.

My track wheels are actually 18x9.5 MT1s with ET35. I have 275/35-18 Continental scrubs on them. I run a 12mm spacer in the rear for a wider track and a 5mm spacer up front so my tires clear the ride height collars on the JRZ struts. No spacers with the Apex wheels.

My original plan was to use the Apex wheels for the track and the MT1s for the street. But the timing just worked out this way. The fitment of both would work just as well for me on the track, IMO, since the offsets are pretty close when you take into account the spacers being used with the MT1s. I know others have used ET22 Apex wheels on the track without issues as well.
