Any suggestions for a reasonably priced corner balancing kit?? Our club wanted to get one as corner balancing is very hard to find down here.

I don't know about "reasonably priced" but Longacre Racing makes some solid products up here. Nowadays they even have wireless scale pads so you don't have 30 feet of wires to trip over when making adjustments to the car on the pads.

Was very easy to setup and get all the data. They are very low so you do not need ramps but on slippery surfacees (ceramic garage floor, they are near impossible to drive up on). No big deal as you need to jack the car up many times as you set things up. Since its all wireless with batteries its very portable. Only negative is that the on off switch is very delicate and wondering if I should crazy glue i on and just use the batteries to turn it on/off..

Did yours come with the zipper bag or hard case like this one?

Yes just like that one. Hardcase with wheels and handle, will adjust suspension this weekend

So, I'm dying to find out how these worked out! Do you find them repeatable and accurate?

Yes, I did readings twice over two weeks and the numbers were almost identical... But... I went out and got a set of helper springs for the back. After jacking up the car, if the spring did not sit properly in the rear the readings would go off quite a bit. Would have to move the car around a bit for the springs to set.

My one peeve is that on off switch is really weak and I don't think it will last very long. Will probably crazy glue it on and use the batteries to turn it on an off.
