What does indicate and what's the process to make it correct. Thanks guy's.

Lower the LF or RR, or raise the RF or LR. Take a look at the heights at each corner before deciding which of these approaches to take. Obviously, it is preferable to adjust one corner that has a height that is not correct, also. In other words, don't lower a corner that is already too low, or raise one that is already too high.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to corner balancing:

1. Balance across the corners so the cars ability to turn is the same in both directions

2. Balance across the front so that when threshold braking one side does not lock up before the other.

Should I set it up with my weight in the driver seat , no weight, or weight in both seats? What would be the ideal numbers front to back and all four corners? Car is 2759 lbs no driver.

Use whatever configuration you want the best performance.

Most use 1/2 tanks of gas and driver only

Not sure what the best config is. Can you give me any idea let's say for a daily driver no ax or racing at all?

[aston@ultrasw.c]

how are you using the car, when you want it to perform at its best?

for many that is 1/2 tank and driver only

OK so you weigh in at 175 pounds and when you are out of the drivers seat there is 4% more weight on the LF and RR. When you are in the drivers seat the LF and RR get even heavier (8%)so I am assuming the LF and RR need to be lowered equally to put more diagonal weight on the RF and LR. Alternately raise the RF and LR. Its an artform, a special mix of corner weight and ride height. Good luck with that.

Here's something I wrote a few years back. Ok, a few decades back. This was my project 911 for European Car magazine.
