Default yeah well i was gonna install them corner balance and then align once i had

the desired height. more...

i know i dont have the scales nor the patience to do this myself, just wondering what to look for when i'm at a shop to find out if they do corner balancing before asking someone. Also, is it possible it would need a couple corner balances once desired height is reached and then the final alignment? My only worry really is that after corner balancing a corner or side of the car will sink and need adjustment again so want to save money on getting only one alignment, unless of course the guys who do corner balancing would throw in the final alignment... i'm sure they know.
