Can I get some opinions on these scales and or thoughts on what is considered better or more user friendly, not to mention resale value.

Thank you,

Hey Matt. I also looked at those scales, and some others that were very similar. The seller I saw on ebay had a similar setup but also have turn plates on two of them, nice feature. And no way can you beat the price. If a turn plate is something you might want check out the other seller, I think they were red, similar price. JR

Oh, I ended up getting some digital scales and ramps from longacre. A lil more money but nuthing you couldnt do with a calculator really with the scales you are looking at.

Put some feelers out to the circle track community in your area, if there is one. Someone might have a set up for sale if they're getting out of racing, or upgrading.

I've seen those cheapo ones with the turnplates, they should work great and the price is wonderful. Usually they work on a 1/4 weight factor.

Turnplates are great for doing toe alignments too.
