Default Corner weighting - Has anyone done it?

I finally got around to putting on my buddy club n+ coilovers on my dc5 only to have my friend mention corner weighting. After dropping about a grand on them, it sounds like I'm going to have to spend some more

Anyone ever do it before or care to tell me if it's worth it (as well as the cost of such)?

for a track/race car yep i would, and have done many.

But for a street car, no way in hell i would do it. Anytime you carry a passenger, or stuff in your trunk it will through them off.

Done it, and worth it, for a track or autocross car. Street car, waste of money.

As mentioned, it's pointless for a street car. The ride heights at each corner will be uneven, and the weights will be off any time the fuel level in the car changes, or you have passengers/cargo, etc.
