i had my car corner weighted and these are the figures:
With 165lb Driver and 1/2 tank of gas
LF= 863 RF= 801
LR=538 RR= 478
Cross Differential
RF/LR= 1341
LF/RR= 1339
total weight with 165lb driver and 1/2 tank of gas= 2680 lb
how do i interpret these numbers?
are these numbers optimal?
because i'm not sure theres much more that can be done

I believe you raise/lower the suspension at each corner to even out the weights.

My bust, I'm swamped at work today.
I was trying t osay what everyone else just said. Tuning the sussy, lowering/raising to get the ideal results. If you cant do it that way.....your car is fucked

all corner weighting is, is balancing out the pressure each tyre exerts on the road as evenly as possible from side to side on the car, so the handling is more balanced
mine was done recently, with me sat in it, it came up 50/50 laterally and 60/40 front rear. felt beautiful after it was done
and totaly car wieight was 1111kg or 2449.33lb's

one of the most overlooked things when people install coilovers.
decreased acceleration/braking/cornering all in one 'upgrade'.
an excellent write up about it... http://www.grmotorsports.com/n...s.php
OP: great numbers

Yes, you are trying to get the diagonal weights as close as possible. You cannot impact the F->R weights by adjusting your suspension, this has to be done by physically moving weight in the car.
Good numbers.
