...and to Patickt,

if you offset the springs recalibrate the rebound on the damper.

Well, the readers will just have to make the decision themselves. BUT, it doesn't seem to make a lot of intuitive sense to say "No, not only should you not adjust your corner weights, but you shouldn't even check them to see if they're off. If the car looks right, just trust that they're fine." By the way, the cost for a suspension shop to set your weights runs from $75 to $200. I bet most of them would just check them and give you the print out for $50 or less. Now c'mon Pete, surely you'll agree that just having them checked for $50 makes sense, right? And then, if the numbers shock the owner's conscience, then they can just deal with it as they will. Now, doesn't that sound reasonable?

Actually not, as I stated before - if you carry a passenger your "balance" is off. You just have an ideal car when you alone.


Honey, you can't ride with me my cross weight is off.......


No, it makes no sense.

Speaking of wife, mine will Auto-X with my Cobra. Should I set up the car for her or for me ---- or both.

And if your weights are badly off, and a passenger even makes the numbers worse still, you don't even want to know that?
