So if I understand correctly your initially scaling the car and then adjusting the coilovers to jack the spring loading from one corner of the car to the diagonal corner and vice versa with the other diagonal corners. Your not actually moving weight - just compensating with spring pre-load - in other words tansferring loading to or from - say the LR corner to the RF corner. I assume that when re-scaled the pre-loading is reflected in weight shown on the scales and you're shooting for approximately equal L to R. Am I understanding this or completely missing the whole point? I'm more of a straight-line guy than a roundy-round guy.

It seems like that could seriously screw up how the car sits on level ground if one got too carried away with this.

Go ahead - flame away.
