And a lot simpler than folks think! Quite an eye opener, too. I was surprised that things I thought wouldn't be that heavy turn out to be and vice versa. Lots of fun when your friends show up: Play "Closest Wins" with everyone's cars.

Did you find a good deal or just paying regular price? Really want a set of these someday.

Wish you were closer. Been on my list for a long time, so I just do without.

We have one in the upstairs bathroom. It not as much fun as you’d think.

Get the ramps or make some to push the car on them so you are not dealing with an unsettled suspension by just lowering the car on them.

I don't have an electronic copy of the form to share
but there is a form...

formulas that you can use with the scale numbers that will tell you what is ideal for your readings...

very helpful to use the form and do the math when you scale any car
tells you how many pounds each corner is away from the mathematically possible weights that you are shooting for.

I was fortunate enough to borrow a set from a local race shop. Got my car down to 1850 wet.

How do you get a 914 down to 1850 lbs?

Great add on the ramps. What a fun toy to play with.

Scales are like boats for me, I don't really need to own them, but I like having friends that do!

Adding more fuel will bring the weight forward. You can calculate that with the weight of petrol. Without coilovers in back, how easy is it too move weight forward?
