Just picked up a race car weight system. Any advice?
I'm going for 50/50, left,right with me in the seat.
Front to back looks like 49/51 front/rear.
Cross will be 50/50

Yes, on the Left Rear and Right Front. Cross weight was off 2.5% but the ride height looked good????
Setup Pics with laser level. Took longer to set the pads as my garage floor is not level.

I did not expect the cross-weight to stay that close from "empty" to "driver".

More corner stuff new shocks and springs.

The thing i see now is the passenger side is 1/2 inch higher than the driver side.

I placed 200 lbs in the driver seat for all measurements.

Very cool timely post. Thanks.

I recently noticed my passenger/front was lower than the driver/front (thanks to the QuickJack). So fixed it by adjusting the KW-ACR Coilover, but otherwise I really didn't notice it visually or by feel (behind the wheel..mostly street driving).

Realizing that making a change to any corner should require attention to the opposite corner (in my case the drivers side rear). But all ride height measurements are good.

Understanding that Ride Height does NOT equal (!=) Weight/Corner Balance.

How does it feel?

As for driving it, next autocross is Oct. Can't do to much on the street.
