As soon as I get my track day car back together and toe in first, I am
going to a shop that will give me all four corner weights, as well total
weight. If the values are off too much I will work on adjusting the
frame height at each corner to get the proper ratios. Ideally. A car is
50/50 front/back and the cross weight left rear to right front is within
49.5 to 50.5%. The left side ratio is suppose to be within some certain
percent, but I cannot locate the reference right now. I will report on
the car's weights when I weigh it.

you can take your car to a local moving company. just call ahead. most
have
what they call 'public scales'. they really are long monster scales.
you
drive on the thing and they weigh you. it's only like $10 and so cool
to get
an accurate weight to the pound. they will give you a print out. it's
amazing how much different everyone's cars weigh. might be fun for a
bunch of
people to have their cars weighed and we can share the numbers on the
list.
annual weigh your car day? larry
