Default Corner weight in CA

Does anyone know a good place to get coilovers cornerweighed in So. Cali. besides the Progress Group? Preferably LA area. I want to go to Progress, but they can't do it for 2 weeks and I was hoping to do this sooner for a track event.

Also, do you think it's better to install the coilovers and go to the track (HPDE) even if I don't get to corner weigh them, or should I just keep the current suspension to use at the track until I can do it right with the coilovers? Current suspension is not too bad, but too much understeer at the track, and some bottoming out too. (ITR shocks, H&R OE springs, ITR sway bar). thanks

I remember your car this past weekend at Fontana KIWI. I'll give you a ring, thanks. Only prob is trying to get out to San Clemente!

Ray, what did you do about your hood? Did you get a Carbon Fiber one?

What is the average price for corner weighting? I want to know so I can have that much more when I buy a good set of Coilovers.

Oops, how did I get San Clemente? Maybe from Clementine street when I looked at the email notification in a hurry...

i would put the new suspension in and run it even if i couldn't get it cornerweighted. might as well just run it. plus, if a time slot pops up when you can get your car cornerweighted, the car will conveniently be ready.
