My car (XR6T) will be going in to get it's suspension set up on Firday. While it is there, we are going to set the coilovers with the car on scales, to see how the weight is distributed. Have any members had any experience with setting their car up for track days  using scales?   I'd be very interested to hear of your experiences and the settings that you used.

Remember to put your weight (equivalent) in the drivers seat but besides that, I have no idea

I wouldnt bother, just get the front camber and toe correct for the track. Dont forget to change it back or you wont have any front tyres left after 500ks

I had my old xr6 corner weighted. Made a big difference to stability under power and under brakes. Made the car more predictable. 

 

The guy that did it (wheels world in Osborne park) even commented that he was impressed with how it handled after the work and his bread and butter is exotics.
