4 corner car scale

[nycutlass]

Back when I raced my T-type 3 time a week, I measured each corner on the track scale one tire at a time and recorded the numbers. I also did a front and a back and did with airbag air and without airbag air on the Right and left rear tire before and during power braking/turbo spooling.

The data showed the Airbag preloads the right side (and unloads the left) so the weight is equalized during launch. If the Track scale is level with the surrounding pavement, you should be able to get good side/side data. If its 1" or more above/below the surrounding pavement, front/back should be good but individual tire data might go wonky, so you'd have to do front, back and the entire sides and calculate the individual tires.

Yes that's what I'm looking to do once I have obtained that data I can see what I should change in the front end.

Not sure what combo your running for motor, but I just recently weighted mine. Total was 3682, front 2121, rear 1561, lf 1064 rf 1057 lf 777 and rr 785. alum core support, bbc dart block, alum heads, alum radiator, alum bumper mounts, 34mm sway bar up front BMR adjustable rear bar, boxed the frame, notched rear rails 6pt chrome molly rollbar, no ac, and battery in trunk on passenger side. The body is pretty much all stock and it had 1/2 tank of gas.
I've got 560 #'s extra up front. It would be had to loose half of that.

What shocks did you end up using in the front ?

As of right now I've got QA1 single adjustable shocks all the way around. Over the winter I plan on upgrading the fronts to QA1 coilovers that fit in the spring pocket. The front sits about a 1/2" off the bump stops.

I was looking at the same ones Qa1 coilovers but at the double adjustable ones .
