Ride height question

[kevins2]

My original question in starting this thread was regarding ride height and it somehow morphed into corner weighting, which is fine - lots of good information and debate here. This past Monday I had an opportunity to visit a local race shop. Very impressive - there were 10 - 12 carbon fiber bodied Porsches in there and a couple of street cars - a Ferrari and an Aston Martin. The owner built and owned an ERA a number of years ago. My point is he certainly has a lot of credibility on this topic so I asked about corner weighting. They have scales and a perfectly level floor area for that purpose and routinely corner weight the race cars to within a couple of ounces. He offered to corner weight my car but then added that it isn't worth the effort unless I plan to track the car. I like Patrick's idea of at least knowing how far off it is so I'll get them to put it on the scales this Spring to see where I'm at. As for my original question about ride height, it is now exactly to ERA specs and the alignment is right on.

One thing that suprised me a bit is that the ERA manual indicates rear ride height can be adjusted by changing just one of the double coil-overs on each side. I would have thought it best to keep them exactly the same but apparently that's not a big deal.
