Corner Weighting Services
Another service we offer, that we did not advertise much this year is Corner Weighting using our Long Acre Computer Scales system:
Standard Pricing:
$315
Pricing after we install suspension modifications:
$210
This is very useful for street cars, drag cars, road race and auto-x, etc. Dialing in the weight bias on an adjustable suspension set-up as the one here is of huge importance to get the most out of it. There are different settings and desired goals depending on the purpose of the car, road course vs drag strip etc but they they are equally important and make a world of a difference at the tracks and is just another way to help keep you in front of the competition.
What is Corner Weighting and Why is it important?
One of the most important aspects of car setup is the static weight distribution and the cross-weight percentage. Why?
Your car is really fast in right-hand turns, but understeers in left turns. If you get the car neutral in left turns, it oversteers in right turns. The situation is frustrating. You’ve tried springs, shocks, different bars, neutralizing the anti-roll bar, and nothing seems to work. Even on a track with mostly right-hand turns, the problem in the left-hand turns cost a lot of time.
While several different setup parameters could have caused this situation, a likely cause is excessive cross-weight.
Service Include:
Checking actual weight
Setting Static Weight Distribution
Setting Cross Weight
Swaybar Preload Adjustment
