Corner balance, any tips? Options

[tradisrad]

I am going to corner blance my 914 in the next week or so and I am looking for any tips that my help.

I picked up a set of Mad Racing scales, a Longacre caster/camber gauge and toe plates off of CL for $200. After I purchased said items I could not find a lot of info on the Mad Racing scales:



I did find that folks don't like these scales especially when compared to the Longacre digital scales. It also seems that there is a question about repeatability and accuracy with this type of scale. But they are what I have.

So, I would appreciate any advice on using these scales as well as the camber/caster gauge & toe plates.

My suspension set up is:
Elephant Poly Bronze x 4
GPR front bar
Stock torsion
Upper front monoballs
150lb Eibach springs w/ ground control
Bilstein shocks x 4
Turbo tie rods & bump steer.

There's another theory of corner balance that I read about. Instead of equalizing the sum of the opposite corners, the theory is to put the same percentage of wt. on the left side front and rear and right side front and rear. Hard to put into words. If the car has 55% of it's wt on the left side(based on total wt), then the left front wheel should have 55% of the front wt and the left rear wheel should have 55% of the rear wt. I like this method as it seems to result in the front corner wts being closer to each other. That gives better braking performance. FWIW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
