Corner Weighting

[phatspeed]

Any other good shops that corner weight besides big bear in Oconomowoc? Looking for something a little closer to milwaukee area.

Clocks Off Racing can get you what you need. Was interesting watching how its done and what gets adjusted.

I wish our scales were wireless. And newer. And calibrated.

You really need to know where the weight actually is in the car because just adding static sprung weight in some corner might get you to where you want to be as far as what the static scales say but in the end hurt performance by adding weight. Plus, some people end up adding the weight really high on the chassis in front of the front axle or behind the rear axle, which is a bad idea. Static scales on one plane should really only be used for removing weight.

For testing, I found a leather bag, a bunch of small freezer (or storage) ziplocs, and some lead shot works pretty well.

A hillbilly method for finding where the weight is uses a fork truck or chain fall, a tension scale, and three normal scales.

the software for these scales actually has a calculation to figure center of gravity height,and you can calculate where it is front/back by using percentage X wheelbase for the front/back location. no need for a system of forklifts,chainfalls,pulleys or levers. :D

It's assuming something, it doesn't actually know where the true center of gravity is using four scales in the same plane. It can find it fore and aft, port and starboard... but that's it. And you can do that without a computer.

Sweet to see it done! Pump gas ftw!
