What is corner weighting

[NRP/MN]

I have corner balanced sedan type road race cars. The method used was to match the cross weight of the RF/LR to the weight of the LF/RR. This does not yield equal weights on thr RF/LF or the LR/RR. The target is to achieve similiar cross weights to create a neutral chassis balance durng aggressive cornering. Example-a higher weight percentage on the RF/LR cross favors left hand turns. Keeping the cross weight similiar generates a setup that turns right and left with similiar handling characteristics, no oversteer or understeer when turnng right or left. However this is all fine if your spring and sway bars are perfectly chosen as they also impact "tight or loose" Performing this on a Backdraft may be a pain the #%ss as you only have coil over adjusters on the front. The rear spring is conventional (seperate from the shock). This would require spacers placed under the spring. In addition to balancing the cross weights, you also have to maintain correct ride heights, not as easy as it sounds. This can be a half days work. In addition our scales are on setup stands that are laser leveled with each other. The surface of the shop floor is not accurate to do this.
