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.

Finally finished my (race) alignment and corner balance at Iron Canyon Motorsports. We were there for about 8 hours! It took forever to align the car as the passenger side rear was being difficult and needed some "engineering" to get enough toe-in out of it. Once we got past that and the initial set up things went pretty well.
The corner balance was damn near comical. I spent a ton of time getting the ride height and rake "just so". When it came time to do the corner balance all it took was about 3/4 of a turn on the front passenger side torsion bar adjuster and it was there! I guess the chassis set up god's punished us enough with the alignment. I can't recommend Mark at Iron Canyon enough. He has an amazing shop, endless patience, and is more thorough than I would be with my own car. A rare personality to find these days! |
