Appointment Set for Corner Balancing

Hey everyone,

I have my Tein SS coils at home and will be doing the install next week. I am currently dropped on H&R Sports (which will be for sale after next week), but wanted to close the gap on my 19's and have a better overall suspension setup. I already have my fenders rolled and am really excited to get the corner balancing done since I feel the TL is quite nose-heavy. The place I want to have my alignment done at suggested I have the corner balancing done at the same time. They are spending 3-4 hours with the car for a charge of $160 for everything. I felt that was a fair price $40-53/hour ain't bad since a normal alignment without the balancing costs about $80 and takes only 1 hour.

I found a super old post and haven't heard of anyone doing this recently. Does anyone have advice on what I should request or questions to ask beyond the basics?

They simply place the car on electronic scales and play with the spring perch height on your coilovers to shift static weigh where needed to balance the car
They know what they are doing- just tell them if you do track days or normal street driving
so they can set the amount of toe on the front

So I'm thinking the adjustments to the perch height are minimal, but enough to properly even out the weight distribution of the car as best as possible?
