The corner balance numbers are just where we want them.

There is no way to get equal left to right numbers with a driver, unless you balast the car, or have a car that is otherwise right side heavy to begin with. There is also no way to get more equitable side to side numbers and diagonals at the same time without physically moving weight inside the car.

The diagonals are indeed important, and usually there is a slight compromise when trying to reach the other objective particular to 911 chassis, nearly equal front weights. At threshold braking, this helps alleviate any funny pulls to one side or another, or single wheel lockup. In this case, the diagonal is within 2%, more than acceptable in a noodly production chassis with radial tires.

The sway bars were disconnected, the tire pressures set exactly and the scale pads in platens levelled to within .1 degree of each other.

The corner heights are between 23 7/8 and 24 1/2" and are appropriate to yield about a 1 to 1-1/2 degree rake.
