    front wheel weights

    Would you say that almost havin the same weight across the front is good or bad. How does it effect the car?

    How about the cross percentage what will this do?

    If your fronts weigh the same, then your left side and cross are the same.

          I will be honest, I have never looked at the front weights. It will change with the spring selection anyhow. Good luck though.

            Way to go.

            Equal fronts is how we always setup our cars, going back to Frank McClendon at Custom Chassis in the early 80's. I did the same when I went kart racing for a while. On some tight cornered tracks I like a little more LF to help rotate the center better. I say equals is a good thing.

              great

              Well the car handled very well for a driver with little seat time in a latemodel.

                Now that I read this post, when scaling my car, I have a LF that is about 200#'s heavier than the RF!

                  How would the weight change if the ride heights were set correctly with the spring change?
