No experience with R's Tunning but i've heard good things from friends. Personally, I'd go with Platte Forme A.G. or West End (if you can handle the wait). I've had a corner balance and alignment done at both Platte Forme and West End. You really can't go wrong with both, but West End has a typical wait time of 1-2 weeks and you'll spend 3+ hours on the rack as Darren is extremely meticulous and does everything by hand, no machines.
Platte Forme is great, I dropped my car off and went back to work. They texted me updates along the way, sent me pictures to see the ride height after the car was corner balanced, adjusted the steering 5 times just to make sure my steering wheel was perfectly straight (it was slightly to the left after my first corner balance & alignment at West End). Personally I'd go with companies that actually race and test their cars, not companies that install brake calipers upside down and then send the customer along their way (cough MRF). |

Why do you want a corner balance?
Before even getting it done, I'd consider if you really need a corner balance. If you cars a street car or even an occasional track car, you will never even notice the affects of a corner balance. |
