Alright, it's yogurt for you for the rest of the summer. What was your final verdict on the corner weighting? Could you tell a difference in just normal, around town, type driving? Not autocrossing or racing, just regular stuff.

Okay, got to drive it a little yesterday and yes, I could tell a difference in L/H turns. Used to be that I could break it loose more easily in L/H than R/H turns.

And just for the record, I do not have a preference of L/H to R/H turns. The majority of drivers, or motorcycle riders have a preference and feel more comfortable one way or the other. That has never been an issue for me.

Excellent. Are you now going to go back to this thread: Best way to adjust rear coil overs for proper height on my SPF and report that Patrick and Jerry C. were indeed correct all along?

Uhhh, here... let me make it easy on you. Just copy and paste.

Guys, this is a follow-up to close out the thread and, for once and for all, put the issue of "corner weighting your street car" to rest. As you all know, Patrick can be a pompous ass at times, has an inflated opinion of himself, and, from time to time, is a rude jerk not only to me, but to others as well. But, when a man's right he's right... and this time Patrick was absolutely 100% dead nuts right. After corner weighting my car, it does indeed drive noticably better on the street, and I have no doubt it will do the same under more agressive scenarios. In fact, I wish I had listened to him and done the corner weighting long ago. All the nay-sayers on this thread are just plain wrong; Patrick is right, along with everyone else who echoed his sentiments. And, while it pains me to say it, I have now done just that.
