Corner Weighting & Chassis Balancing
Achieve True Balance for Better Handling
At BALXNCE, our Corner Weighting & Chassis Balancing service is designed to optimise your vehicle’s weight distribution for stable, predictable and high-performance handling on road and track.
Corner weighting — also known as corner balancing — measures and adjusts the load carried by each wheel so that your tyres, suspension and chassis work together as a balanced system. When weight is distributed correctly, the car responds consistently under acceleration, braking and cornering.
Whether your car is factory- fitted with adjustable coilovers such as the Ford Focus ST Edition or Porsche GT3 or it’s a custom car build, we’ve got you covered.
What Is Corner Weighting?
Every vehicle has an inherent weight bias influenced by engine position, drivetrain layout, suspension geometry and driver weight. Even when ride heights appear equal, uneven wheel loads can exist — leading to inconsistent grip and unpredictable handling.
Corner weighting uses precision scales at each wheel to measure these loads. Adjustments are then made to suspension ride height and preload to achieve the optimal balance for your vehicle’s intended use.
Correct corner weighting improves:
Left-to-right handling consistency
Front-to-rear stability
Tyre contact and load management
Driver confidence and control
Why Corner Weighting Matters
When a car is properly corner weighted:
Each tyre operates closer to its ideal load range
The chassis behaves neutrally when turning both left and right
Braking stability is improved
Grip is more consistent at the limit
This is particularly important for vehicles fitted with adjustable suspension, such as coilovers, and for cars used in track days, time attack or motorsport environments.
Our Precision Process
At BALXNCE, every corner weighting session follows a structured, data-driven approach:
1. Vehicle Preparation
The car is set up with the correct fuel level and driver weight (or ballast) to reflect real-world use.
2. Corner Load Measurement
Each wheel is measured using professional-grade corner scales to determine current weight distribution.
3. Suspension Adjustment
Ride heights and preload are adjusted incrementally to achieve the desired balance across the chassis.
4. Iterative Optimisation
Measurements and adjustments are repeated until the target balance is achieved without compromising ride height or suspension travel.
5. Final Geometry Check
Wheel alignment is carried out after corner weighting to ensure suspension geometry complements the new chassis balance. Adjustments are repeated until we are completely happy with the results.
When Should You Corner Weight Your Car?
Corner weighting is recommended if:
Your car has adjustable suspension
You drive your car on track or spirited road use
Suspension components have been upgraded or replaced
The car feels inconsistent or unsettled in corners
You want maximum performance from your suspension setup
Even road-focused performance cars benefit from improved predictability and balance.
