Corner Weight Set Up

[Dave_R]

Fitted my new coilovers wednesday (Bilstein B14) adjusted the height a bit just to get it into the body shop on monday

Once it's out I want to get the coilovers set up correctly so does anyone know or can recommend any companies that will do corner weight set ups?

I been recommend to Center Gravity by a mate who's on fiesta turbo. I would try to find one closer but if I hear good things then I will travel

Blocks of wood under sills to correct ride height without springs fitted.
Add thickness of bathroom scales when on zero to wood blocks then put scales under wheels and measure away.
For a reference to make sure you're not going mad, weigh as much stuff as you can individuallly and see if this equals what you see assembled minus roughly half the weight of any chassis mounted components.
If you have large OD anti roll bars these may be better disconnected as they really screw up weighting individual wheels or buy another set of scales and work on axle pairs.

Re-assemble go for a spin and check tyre temp with hand and re adjust as necessary to avoid cold spots.

Takes a while but saves you a fortune = mind you if you find anywhere that are good pass it on as I get fed up setting mine this way as you loose some accuracy.
