Default Corner Weight on MY06 S2K

Hi everyone,

I was trying to locate a proper place to post this thread. Please move it if you feel it necessary.

I bought my MY06 about 3 weeks ago. Because our shop has a dyno and 4 corner scale, I plan to do an informational write up as I modify this car. I'd like to share with you my findings on my Longacre 4 corner balance scale. Again, this is a completely stock MY06 with a full tank of gas. Thanks!

I assume this is without you (or equal weight) in the driver's seat?

Sorry for the noob question, but what does it mean when people "corner weight coilovers?" Is it just putting the car on one of those corner weight machines and adjusting the height of each corner slightly to compensate for weight differences?

u adjust the preloads to make even

on triple perch setup u can adjust preload independent of height.. on double perch you adjust preload by changing height..

my car is corner balanced 50/50 25/25/25/25

makes her feel a lil more nimble..

but the most important part is putting yourself in the car. or equivilent weight..
