I'd like to 'schedule' a time slot for each of you. We will have other things going on Saturday, so I just want to make sure we fit everyone in.
I'll update my first post with the list.

Please add What service you want and what you have on your car. (ie. Tein Flex coilovers & weighed, or Tein HA's and corner-balanced, etc) We may be pressed for time depending on who wants what.
Sorry I wasn't more specific to begin with.
We just got done doing Mike's car a little while ago and it was quite the adventure!
The car weighed in at 3,014.5 LBS w/driver, and just under a half tank of gas. F/R distro: 54.3%, 45.8%.
Corner weights were as follows:
fL: 894 fR: 741.5 (Difference of: 152.5 lbs!!)
rL: 672 rR: 708 (Diff of: 36 lbs)
When all was said and done, it was as follows, w/driver:
fL: 847.5 fR: 792 (Diff of: 55.5 lbs)
rL: 714.5 rR: 660 (Diff of: 54.5 lbs)
So basically, the entire driver side is about 55 lbs heavier with a driver in the car. (Mike's fat ***
)
"Without" a driver in the car, .... the weights came out as follows:
fL: 771 fR: 774.5 (Diff of: 3.5 lbs)
rL: 632 rR: 625 (Diff of: 7 lbs)
Also, weight distribution on his car is: 54.4% Front, 45.6% Rear.

So, tonight Sean and I corner balanced my car. It definitly wasn't the easiest thing I've ever done to my car. But it wasn't the hardest. It's something that will go a lot faster with a little bit of practice.
Anyway, from what I could tell on my short drive home and quick adjustment to the different feel. The front doesn't feel as heavy and the car feels like it has more predictable grip. What I mean is, it's easier to feel the back wanting to come out. I'm not sure if I got more grip, because the only big coner I got to play in is a long, dark, rough right handed off ramp. Did I mention dark and one of my headlamps is out.
Well tomorrow I plan on finding a good open out of the way place, so I can write you a better report.
Mike

How exactly is the car balanced out so that it has almost even weight distribution. So im assuming that a car from the factory does not come evenly balanced?? thank you
