For most people, it's not. Instead they should just call around to local alignment shops and ask "Do you use corner weight scales to set coil over ride height?" and if they say "What?" then just hang up and dial the next one. One of them will say "Sure we do." "We'll print out your weights for $50 or set them for another $50. And you can watch us do it." No alignment shop that has a set of corner scales is going to have them and not know how to use them. And no alignment shop that doesn't have them is going to tell you that they do.
Nowadays, a nice CSX, Kirkham, ERA, or SPF is a six figure toy -- why someone wouldn't drop a measly C-Note, or less, checking the corner weights is absolutely beyond me. But, then again, this is just one of those goofy subjects where people just don't do it. It makes absolutely no sense, but they don't.  |
