I'm always amazed at how people forget that the old way will still work and its forgotten because of the word technology,
drill some eyebolts in the floor (like the old body shops used to use) , buy a set of scales, build an actuator cylinder for the left rear and 5th coil and you have a pull down rig, its not rocket science like most think, now a shaker rig is a whole other deal
then get some data (it can be cheap but needs to be consistent) and your ready
as hard as most work on these cars, it would only take a weekend to do

yep , this is what ive been doing for years , and you will be amazed what you can find with the shocks off and 4 floor jacks , as far as geometry is concerned , a local driver that was running pretty well , took his car to one of these places last year and slowed down 2 tenths , like others have said , you have to know all the variables and a lot about your car for this to help on a one time visit.....JMO.....

I have seen it hurt a car as well.

I see more and more racers struggle because of "technology". So many guys rely on spring smashers and have done away with the old tried and true weight out. Those scales say alot no matter what your 4" number is........

smart, smart, man
also amazing what an angle finder, tape measure, and old fashion plumb bob can do, along with some simple welding

I think the statement "we don't scale any anymore" gets used a little too broadly and people that don't understand or are inexperienced get lost quick. Make no mistake every car that wins a race has been on a set of scales. Their are some things that can't be done any other way and it still matters just as much as it ever did
