Update!
Today I dove in and removed the large 1/2" spacer washers on the top of the spindles.
What a difference!!!!!
That mod took away all the Hopping and harshness of the ride. The front end feels more relaxed.
You guys are the best.
Now looking forward to the chin spoiler next week.
Thanks again.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1205264490.jpg

I didn't read past post # 9 ..... there is a big misunderstanding here.

The TOTAL front weight of the car and the TOTAL rear weight of the car will ALWAYS be the same....regardless of how you futzed with the alignment. UNLESS you actually and physically move something of mass within the car...like moving a battery or something. CORNER balance is just that...you can raise or lower the ONE CORNER weight of the car, but if you do, the exact same thing will occur on the OPPOSITE DIAGONAL. ( IF LF went up 20 lbs...so did the Right rear).

Mantra....any TWO ADJACENT wheels will always TOTALIZE to the same weight. LF + RF, or LF +LR, or LR + RR, or RR+ RF...any 2 adjacent wheels ( in total) won't change.

It CANNOT be 33% front ( total) and later be 36 % total...impossible...
