it is what happens to us scoob folk when an evo is in front

basically it is to get the wheels carrying as similar weight as possible to help wheel grip.it should help braking and acceleration.

I think it would be a time consuming job if you where to do it properly as things like batteries,screen washer bottles etc would probably have to be moved to the boot,roll bars also have to be disconnected so the labour charge could get high.the other thing would be the car may not look level when finished.

If u have height adjustable suspension (eg coilovers)then corner weighting can be done fairly easily with the right equipment.
Adjust height of each corner by small amounts until balanced left to right & front to rear (although front to rear may always be say 60/40ish).
Will help balance when cornering.
Mark.

corner weighting.

That's keeping an eye out for threads with 19 posts and jumping in with a useless 'corner' gag
