I'm getting very close to aligning and corner weighting the car. What sort of percentages should i be looking for in cross and front to rear? I would guess 50% cross with me in it and closer to 45% front/55% rear.

Just out of curiosity, why not 50/50? Is everybody dead set against adding ballast?

Van After busting my chops REDUCING weight, it pained me to add ballast to make class minimum. Adding weight for any reason beyond class requirements is an anathema. Shifting weight to get ( let's say ) side to side balance is SOP. Personally, I like a rearward weight bias percentage in the mid to high 50s. spending a lot of time fooling around with corner weights becomes moot under most non-static activities...makes ya feel good, tho. Note tires contact. Care to guess the percentage of car weigh on that left rear?  |
