Installed A2's about a week ago. After the install I was able to use a friends scales to corner balance my car. The car with 1/3 tank of gas, flowmaster with resenator removed, Cusco swaybars, and 275/40/17 rears and 235/45/17 fronts, weights 3198 lbs, with driver 3384. This is an enthusiast model. The weight distribution with driver is 54% front (1827) and 46% rear (1557). The left side with driver is 51% (1728) and right 49% (1656). center of gravity is 1/2" to the left of the gear shift. Ride height was lowered 3/4" front and rear.

The ideal corner weight is as follows: LF 933(27.6) RF 894 (26.4) LR 795 (23.5) RR 762 (22.7). My actual weight ended up as: LF 941 (27.8) RF 888 (26.2) LR 787 (23.5) RR 768 (26.2). After I weight the car and figured the ideal weight and compared to the actual I raised my car, removed the scales, and left things as they were. I don't think I could have come this close if I tried. I have made an initial setting of 3 front and 4 rear for the shocks

Very pleased with this suspension. Will be going to instruct in an Audi School this Thurs. Fri. at Putnam Park, can't wait.

Thanks for the numbers. It's good to see someone actually using the coilovers and taking advantage of corner balancing. Too bad you didn't have the scales prior to the coilovers, it would have been interesting to see what the corner balance is for a stock suspensioned Z.

finally took the car to get corner balanced yesterday at Precision Z in Canoga Park (thanks pete). please note that i have a G35 coupe so my car is heavier than the Z (total weight was 3623lbs). here are my numbers:


before

LF - 1018
RF - 951
LR - 835
RR - 819

right 1770, 48.9%
front 1969, 54.4%
cross 1786, 49.3%

after

LF - 1005
RF - 965
LR - 848
RR - 805

right 1770, 48.9%
front 1970, 54.4%
cross 1813, 50.0%

i also set the front and rear camber to around -2.0 deg, even toe at the front, and a slight toe out at 0.1 deg at the rear. all preload from the sway bars were also removed using powergrid adjustable endlinks. i will be taking it to the track soon to test it out.
