So I went to Goodguys a few weekends ago and weighed my 72 vert and the Ride Tech both. Very happy with the balance and the weight! Great service they provide free!

Default Question

Ray

Does the car have air conditioning?

Just wondering why the right front is heavier.

A more accurate balance requires the driver to be in the car, but it looks like the overall balance would improve if the right rear spring bolt was tightened up a touch, or the left rear was loosened up (crossweight/wedge adjustment).
