My car has 50.4/49.6 f/r balance, total weight with me in seat: 2744 lbs (take away ~153 lbs to compensate for my weight), a little less than half tank of gas.

Final Weights: LF: 711 RF: 671
LR: 701 RR: 661

Weights measured with me in car.

Darin at West End Alignment did a heck of a job.

 

darn! i'm 50 pounds more than that, so that means my car's balance will be even more off?

 

Wow, that seems really light. What do you have done to lighten the car other than the wheels and exhaust?

 

I think that I saw a thread where you were getting feedback on wheels and tires. If I'm correct, what did you end up doing? Are you satisfied?

The balance really sounds great.. and it is encouraging that you can tell a difference already.

Do you know exactly what the ride height on each corner was when you started, and how much change was needed to get the end result? The ride height afterwards would be interesting as well.

Clovis and I were just trading messages regarding corner weighting today. He is ready to go and I am trying to get my ride height in the ball park before doing it.

 

Cdelena, Darin was measuring the heights to get them where they should be before tackling more of the finer corner weighting. He asked me if the heights were fine with me and I told him thery were; no lowering further needed.

I will check the heights when I get home.

With more neg camber up front and the corner weighting, there seemed to be less rub if any at the corner where I usually encounter it. Maybe I didn't take parts of that turn fast enough, so will continue to monitor.

PS, I apologize to all that I didn't include taking out passenger seat in the weight reduction equation.... 32 lbs saved.

 

Heights: 22 3/8" front and 22 3/16" rear from bottom of rims to fender bottoms.

Front tires (actually the left on a particular turn) do not rub as vigorously on the dip/turns even at ~2 mph greater speed.
