Corner balance results and questions...

I recently had my car lowered and corner balanced. The results are as follows: (assume a 160lb donkey in the front and 3/4 tank of gas)

550 RF 550 LF

795 LR 790 RR

I need to measure but it is "around" euro height...didn't want full euro ride height.

After searching the archives it seems that we don't actually want this much of a balance side to side? Or am I missing something?

84 Carrera/3.2 / 17 inch Fikse's

What was the cross section measurement (percentage)? That is the number you are most concerned with.

Thanks chuck. Is that Nirvana beyone excellent?

The car handles like never before. As an aside I have been to a number of shops in the MD/DC/VA area and nobody has really set up the car like the folks at Dulles Motorsports did. And a perfect centering of the steering wheel which is a pet peeve of mine.

After my mods: Bilstein yellow HD all around, RUF sways, Fikse 8/225 and 9/255 the car is very stiff but still smooth and tight.

Anyway those guys are great if anyone is searching for an opinion as I always do.

I can measure tonight...

Is that even possible to get a "Tin can" to have equal side to side numbers front and back with a driver on the left. I can see this for a formula car, but a stock car without lead ballist? I question those weights. I can't imagine that car has even close to consistant fender to ground measurments all around.

BTW, the total weight is only 2,685 lbs with 160lbs of driver and 3/4 of a tank of fuel???

Jeff,

A few of us (me included) also had Dulles International Motorsports set up our suspensions. I'm pretty happy also, BTW

Also, don't know if they told you, but that price also includes 'tweaks' if needed. So if you don't like the way the car performs on the track, street, etc. Bring it back, tell them what it's doing (or not doing) and they'll make the necessary adjustments.
