I believe the use of sandbags is to simulate your own body weight sitting in the drivers seat of the vehicle..

... my budget is about $1200... any thoughts ?
I just ordered the Bilstein PSS9's from a vendor on Ebay....$1150 + $50 for shipping...$1200 out the door. I gave them a call before I ordered to make sure they had them in stock, they did so hopefully they'll be here in a week or so.

Koni's and ground control for me. The koni's are awesome with stock springs so far. I really like how they did the valving.

They then made the rebound dampening adjustment range go from stock like at soft to about 3 times more at full stiff.
Is this off-the-shelf or with the "autocross valving" I have read of?

Those are both good suggestions. My budget was less and I am not trying to win the F1 championship so I went with Ground Control and Koni Yellows.

When I had my car corner-weighted, I simulated my weight in the driver's seat by sitting in the driver's seat.

i believe this would be the most accurate method of simulation, but i could be wrong.

How exactly do you change the corner weight when balancing?
