I hope you read Billy's post and understand it. If you don't, do a search on corner weighting, and you can fill in the blanks. His explanation is spot-on, and you should be very happy with the weights. The actual values at each corner can be easily corrected. What you can't fix as easily are front/rear and L/R. Luckily, the driverless values are almost optimal (the left side is only 27 lbs heavier than the right). As the fuel drains, your car could very well end up perfect L/R.

Never had the chance? I find that hard to believe. I'm pretty sure you were just too LAZY to do it, since I was bugging you all the time to get it finished so your interior at least looks a little bit better than my half gutted mess. Hell I even offered to help :P Just lazy I tell ya.

Give me a call tomorrow or Thursday, I need to talk to you about ordering me a couple things.

Corner weighting my car is probably something I should do one of these days... God only knows where I'm at, what with my "eyeball" adjustment technique. lol.

I really would like to relocate the battery before I invest in that though. No sense in redoing it again later.

nah, when you're on the scales, unbolt the battery, and just put it where you want it, this will be close enough, and B let you place it more optimally.
