I set up an appointment with Darin about two weeks in advance. For the folks that want both an alignment and corner weighting, he will set apart three hours for your car.

Darin first had me pull the car onto the scales. It was then that he asked whether or not I wanted to be factored in to all the weights (eg, sit in the car for three hours). He recommended it, and I thought it was common sense to do so, so I did He also asked me what I'd like the ride height set, so he could work towards that goal.

A few moments later, he had a general ballpark of how the car should have been corner weighted. Another few pulls on and off the scales/rack, and he had everything perfect!

The car with me in it - 2716.
Car without me - 2576.

This is a GSR with everything in it, but somehow my curb weight nearly matches that of Edmund's reported ITR weight. How accurate Edmunds is, I do not know.

Anyways, my individual weights:

LF (860) - (824) RF
LR (534) - (498) RR

That equals to 50/50 diagonal weights of L (1358) - (1358) R

Some extra weight distributions:

Front - 62%
Rear - 38%

Left - 51.4%
Right - 48.6%

Darin also mentioned that the biggest improvement would be to remove weight from the front driver's side of the car. If I were to remove the AC/Powersteering and/or get a lightweight seat, the car would nearly have an equal 50/50 left/right weight distribution. But I wouldn't utilize that small %, so I think I'll keep my AC.

Here's the obligatory plug:

West End Alignment
310 808 9233
Gardena, CA, where the 91W ends.

 

I'll be getting some similar work done soon, and I'll be interested in getting the front weights as close as possible (because in the past I've been able to lock-up the FR wheel sooner than the FL).

I don't mind if the car looks a little "funny" when its just sitting.

 

how much was the alignment and and weigthing the car?

 

Alignment was 80 cash before; I think he may have bumped that up to 100 cash now.
He uses the string and chalk method if I remember correctly(we went there a year ago) great guy...

BTW I think the OP forgot to post the street its on Vermont..
After the 91 Ends (the first light)-when you're slowind down by the krispy kreme's....
Turn left..
its addy is 18008 S Vermont Ave

 

I don't know the separate prices, but I don't think alignment/cornerweighting will cost you more than 220. He only accepts cash or check, so I had to ask him how much cash to bring with me in a worst case scenario.

 

120 for Corner weighting sounds right
