I'm getting very close to aligning and corner weighting the car. What sort of percentages should i be looking for in cross and front to rear? I would guess 50% cross with me in it and closer to 45% front/55% rear.

there is a formula to calculate Ideal balance using your actual corner weights...
it will tell you how far off you are... what each corner should ideally weigh given the weight distribution of the actual car. your pretty close woody... within 3 lbs on each corner good enough really I usually quit trying in the 1 to 1.5lb range. brant |
