Corner balance numbers
In preparation for an upcoming DE event, I wanted to corner balance my 73.5T 3.0.
This is what I had initially: ![]() After turning the RF adjuster 1 turn cw, I ended up with this: ![]() I've never done a corner balance before so I would appreciate any input. Any many thanks to Mr. Ferch and Mr. Fitzpatrick for all the help they've already provided with previous posts and the handy calculator.

I put weights in the driver's seat. May as well use them for something.
From what I read so far, the numbers looked good to me too. But I am finding it hard to believe all it took was one turn of an adjuster and the car is corner balanced. For reference, using 225/50/15's, the fender heights are: LF 24 3/8" RF 24 5/8" LR 24 1/8" RR 24 3/8"

Were your tire pressures all even? Also need to bounce the suspension and roll the car forward and back to account for stiction in the suspension.
BTW, many race technicians set the car up with equal fronts, ignoring the diagonals. So if you were setting it up that way, it was better before. Of course, on pro racecars, they can get the fronts even, and the cross-weights pretty close to perfect as well since the cars are optimized WRT weight distribution.
