Whenever someone tells me they want to "have their car corner weighted" I alway ask them "Why?" Their response to this simple question tells me wether they actually understand what they are doing, or are just doing what they read they should do on the internet. In any case, this primer from hot rod magazine will hopefully help everyone understand a little better what is going on under heavy cornering, and what you can do, with some time and knowledge, to help your performance, even without blingy million-way adjustable solid gold coilovers, and more importantly, what you CAN'T do, even with the previously mentioned modifications.

For the record, my car has nearly zero wedge, but is still significantly front-driver's side heavy :(
