Default Evo X pics

just put on a set of Ksport Coilover for a customer and did a corner weight on a Evo X, took some pics and finds out the Evo Xs are 200lbs heavier than our Zs.

That is cool I want my car corner weight adjusted and the rear fenders rolled after I get my new body kit.

Plan on getting 285 rear and 255 fronts later this year.

physically corner weighting is all about CROSS WEIGHT BALANCING, lf, rf weight offset is not the key factor since thats how the car is manufactered to a pt that left n right, front + rear are never perfectly balanced

you can only corner weight your car if you have coils right?

yes, cuz u r basically adjusting the height in diff. corners to shift the weight around the car... therefore the heights on all 4 corners could be diff.

The only downside about corner weighting is that the car won't look even, each corner will have different height... Good for the hardcore track guys, bad for the show guys.

^Unless the car is ridiculously well balanced from factory with driver, then it's not a problem with height.
