Default Corner balance in Greenville SC?

I need to install a replacement coil-over unit on my 2006 Civic sedan. Anybody know of a place in Greenville SC that can corner-balance a car?

Why do you need your car corner balanced?

The car has a suspension that is adjustable for height. So, if I replace one of the struts, I will have to reset the ride height, and in so doing affect the weight balance of the car. The only way to be sure that the weight balance is correct is to corner-balance it after replacing the part.

Replacing a shock/strut should not change your ride height at all. This means the corner weights of the car should not change. Beside, changing the ride height just a tiny bit will not affect the cross weights of the car drastically.

If this is purely a street driven car, there is absolutely no need to have it corner balanced. Hell I don't even have my race car corner balanced and I know tons of national level competitors who don't have their cars corner balanced. As far as performance and driveability, there is just no need unless you are incredibly serious about competition and are looking for that extra tenth of a second...

Save your money for something else..
