Ride height question

Everything Cliff said in his post is exactly my experience with mine-in the '90's. Mine was a pallet car, not a factory roller. It has no add-on's but does have magnesium wheels. It's a very elemental car like S/C's were.
I did c/w it and here were the results with 1/2 tank of fuel, batt in trunk and me in it:
CORNER WEIGHT W/DRIVER: LF: 682 / RF: 648 / LR:755 / RR: 748
WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION W/DRIVER: F: 1330- 46.9% / R: 1503 – 53.1%
I made no changes and found it perfect for autox, track days and street.
Those that claim a remarkable transformation in street driving after corner adjustments are deceived by lack of force input of a racetrack. Unless the car is saddled with amenities, sound-deadner, fake aluminum and such, it will be very close right from ERA-and they will all be similar. A good alignment with a performance bias will be much more beneficial to improved 'feel'.
So the improvement after c/w is largely psychological-unless you plan what Cliff does on track.
