Corner weighting, sometimes referred to as "corner balancing," involves adjusting the spring perches of a car to get a balanced diagonal weight on the tires. Ideally the car should have 50% of its weight on the Left Front and Right Rear tires, and 50% on the Right Front and Left Rear. If your car's corner weights are not equal then its handling will be unbalanced--it will turn better in one direction than in the other and sometimes make it difficult to drive at the car's limits. Think of a chair which has 4 legs. What happens if one leg is shorter than the other three? The same thing happens with your 4-wheel'd car. Achieving perfect balance will allow for the MOST grip out of your car.
