FD's left-side heavy ?
1 Attachment(s)
I am corner-balancing my dual-purpose FD, and have been able to get both the cross-balance and the front-to-rear balance to 50/50 with driver inside.
However, I cannot get the sides balanced (left-to-right), and the total off is about 170-lbs. (85-lbs. per corner). I think this is why, the car at the track feels better with a passenger. Based-upon my limited reading, you cannot ADD more weight by "jacking" up the car, or in this case, increasing the ride-height of the side that is light (Right side on my FD). Aside from adding ballast, any thoughts on this ? Would it make sense to reeplace the right-side coil-springs that are 80-lbs. stronger (RIGHT side only) ? Thanks, :-) neil BTW: I've attached my corner-balancing sheet. |
i think the FD is pretty good stock, the 1st gens have the same problem though. stock you have the heavy exhaust, and turbo to counterbalance the driver/battery/brake master/ steering/ac
ultimately you're kind of stuck with the driver/brakes on the same side with nothing to counter it, except the battery? |
The fuel tank is on the left side of the car as well as the driver. That might be why it is off. I guess JDM cars do not have this problem because of the driver seated on the other side of the car.

I think the driver has more to do with it than anything. I have a fuel cell that is centered in my FD, and still had the same issue.
