I wouldn't even bother screwing with the coilovers. I'd just go down in the basement and get those old weights from high school and stack them in the corners of your car to make it all even out. Throw a sack of cement in to the trunk too, just for good measure.

No I am hell bent on re-measuring now. I do know the last measurement is right because its in my hand writing. The first ones were taken by my alcohol imbibed buddy.

Did read somewhere that your club owns a set of these scales?

The scales were owned by an individual in the club... who has since moved on to greener pastures. I know DCDoug was trying to find a set, maybe two years ago, because that set was no longer available. Then his wife started having babies, apparently in rapid succession, and we haven't heard too much from him. I would think most race shops would rent them to you for a reasonably modest fee, along with a hefty deposit for their safe return.
