Corner weights

[exwestracer]

Today I Scaled the car using TOLEDO mechanical scales from my local Round track shop. They said these are the most accurate so I went ahead and got some numbers. 3/4 Tank of Gas!

I'm wanting to get the percentage between the front & rear, Can someone tell me the formula to achive this correctly?


(With Driver/ Me)

LF = 1085 lb
RF = 986 lb
.....................Total = 3,632 lb (Car with Driver "me")
LR = 788 lb
RR = 773 lb

IMO, looking at the car with driver is the most accurate measure, as that is how the car will be used. I agree the first step would be to disconnect the bars and re-check the weights. Check ride height (on a level surface) at the side frame corners and see if the car is sitting level. A few fractions of an inch would account for your weight readings. Also, were the tire pressures set correctly?



Having said that, 15lb of split across the rear with a 1500+ lb. axle weight is nothing to spend any money trying to correct. Driver weight seems to be distributed logically. Unless you have coliovers or jack bolts in there, there's not a lot you can do to alter the cross weights, short of moving components around, as others have mentioned.
