Troy@ Northampton motorsport, as said well worth doing even for a road car if you have coilys etc.
It's to try and get ideally each corner(wheel) of the car to exert the same pressure/weigh the same, not always 100% possible due to various reasons but getting the areas as equal across side to side and 50/50 front to rear bias is the goal, with coilys the spring can be wound up down to add/remove pressure seen by that wheel.

i've been quoted Ł50 plus vat per hour for corner weighting at Roll Centre in St Ives (cambs), depends on the type of car as to how long it would take.
probably best to have it done with a full 4-wheel alignment.
my problem is i have some ICE in the car (boot install and heavy front door builds) which i will be taking out for track and sprint use, so i dont know whether to get it corner weighted with the ice in or out.

Ł50 an hour is about average, will take 3-4hrs depending on access and how freely movin everything is.
As said should do geo at the same time if you want it just right, allow similar money.
