calculating ideal corner balance weights Options

[brant]

do folks around here calculate Ideal corner weights
we always do and usually can get within 1lb on each corner..


but I see everyone posting cross weights and no mention of calculated ideal weights...


for those that don't you should really look into doing it.

I sit in the car...
fully race trimmed: 19qts of oil and 4 gallons of gas.

when I go to alignment, I put balast weights into the drivers seat to replicate

but I sit in the car when I corner balance.

I do my best of balancing my garage floor. I use exactly the same position and location for the dozen or so years I've been doing this
my buddy who is semi-pro on the dirt tracks has a beautiful metal table (like a celete bench) to scale his car on, but I've just been using a level floor. I have played with water tubing and strings in some attempts to check level in the past.
