Default Question about corner weights

Does having the corners weighed and balanced make a huge difference in the car?

Sure it would destroy the stance (lol) but will the handling be greatly improved?

These are the corner weights of my car (I got them measured at Roebling)

LF: 697
RF: 672
LR: 467
RR: 373

Id like to get them adjusted but I dont know where to do it.

Dude if your not racing or anything then dont worry about it. But anyway the left rear+ right front= right rear+left front. Note how a car will tend to lift its inside wheel and compress the **** out of the outside front. If those weights add up your car should turn the same in both directions. I dont know how far your off because i dont do math for people who dont search but if you picture this in your head if should make sense. Even a match box model on the kitchen table should help.

Did you disconnect the sway bars and weigh with you in the car? How much fuel was in the tank?
