Corner Weights
I borrowed some car scales and this is what my car ended up weighing:
LF 821 RF 867
LR 818 RR 796
51.1/48.8 front/back distribution
3302lbs, absolutely full tank of gas, amp and wiring but I removed the sub box before weighing, everything else stock. 98 Coupe
Do these numbers look similar to what other people have for stock c5s?

It is not "corner weights" it is "corner WEIGHTING"
Getting cross corner wts is to be as equal as possible is the goal.
that is with you ( or your wieght in the drivers seat ) too.
SO
RF+ LR = 49%
and LF + RR = 51%
that is WITHOUT YOUR weight. Find something that =s your wt ( I use old brake rotors) and put that in the drivers seat and then take some readings and make adjustments.

Is your ABS unit in the rear? Mine is. I'm not sure when they switched.

I was 3395 with my 165# sitting in the driver's seat and a full tank of gas (3230 w/o me). 51/49 distribution. I'm mostly stock, but do have the longtubes + x + ti and OEM speedlines & no EMTs so I'm a few pounds lighter than normal.
