Does anybody know a good place to get corner weights done in New York pref the dutchess/westchester area.

thanks

 

Can anybody help me out..

 

when you find out; let me know, thanks.
I was going to take a trip out to Redshift in PA; they've won a couple scca solo titles, so they should know what they are doing when it comes to cornerweighting.
But if you find a good one in dutchess/westchester that would save a trip

 

where are you from?

 

what do corner weights do?

Makes sure your car is weighted perfectly evenly on each corner for the best handling. The serious autocrossers/racers usually do this.

It's especially done on cars that have nice coilover systems.

PM'd you

 

they aren't weights (u know that right?) corner weighting is adjust your coilovers so that the cross weights and stuff are about even

 

Yes I know that fellow JDMI member

 

The process is called corner weighting and it uses four corner scales.

The objective is to adjust the coilovers up or down so that the sums of the diagonal corner weights are as close to equal as possible. Raising one corner puts more weight on the diagonally opposite corner, and so forth.

so then the next question would be does anyone have the four scales, or know of a shop that has done this in the ny/ct/nj area?
I have an issue of Grassroots Motorsports magazine where they install a set of Tein coilovers on a ITR, and setup the cornerweights on it, and they list the cornerweights............I'm going to see if I can find it later or tomorrow........I have two years of magazines to go trough
but I think it was within the last 6 months.

 

i got mine done at hpengineering in RI

$170 total, for corner weighting then alignment.

is that a good ir average price?

 

i got my car done at Dave Turner Motorsports in San Diego...it was probably the best suspension mod i did...170 with alignment is a pretty good deal.
