Ride height. Why not with driver?

Something that I've always pondered, why don't we include the drivers weight when measuring ride height + side to side height?

Given these cars are so sensitive when it comes to setup, I would have thought this would be an issue..

might be that most of the time we look at our cars when we are out of them ...

Now for corner balance you should be in the car or your weight equivalent' if your doing it yourself you should also have your tank at about half full if i remember right...

I ha a buddy check my ride height with me in the car by the way it didn't move but an 1/8 of an inch .. but my suspension is very stout and unforgiving at close to euro height ....

Like Steve says ... it's more important to have the driver in the car for a corner balance as that might screw up all your height settings anyways ...

Cheers !
