Installed some KW V3. Corner balance weights inside.

Sorry bought the pic quality, I am not one to take pics while I am working on my car (very distracting) Here is my half *** try...

Taking the Ol setup off. Swifts and Bilsteins


New KW's on


Messing with the camber (running -2.5 in the front, -1.5in the rear)

Time to weigh and corner balance the girl. Weapon of choice (sorry bout the pic)


The pig on the scales


After corner balancing it here are the #'s
The car had 1/4 gas, no rear seat, spare etc. 245/40/17 nitto nt-o1's and Me in the drivers seat.(track set up)

Left front-1065
Right front-1007
Left rear-629
Right rear-621

My cross % are as follows
Left front to Right rear=50.7%
Right front to Left rear=49.2%

One random shot of the street tires...

Looks good Kidloco....glad to see you got them on.

Camber numbers sound great too, that should work out very well for you.

must be completely empty of fuel, right?


also, your pictures have a slight red x problem

edit: the red x's impared my reading skills.

sounds about right. I'm a little fatter in the car with the roll bar, etc, and me and full weight is closer to 3500

Sounds like a good setup Kid, too bad I can't see the pics. Was this done at home or a shop? I'm in Santa Fe. What events do you participate in and where do you track the car? Arroyo Seco?

I did this at my home. I run at Arroyo Seco all the time. I am currently building a Spec Miata so I will be running more SCCA events around the area (AZ, NM, CO). Have you been down to Arroyo? There is a open track event we are running the
17th of Feb. $75 run all day

No, I've never been to Arroyo. I don't think my car will be ready in time for that event, but I really want to come down, it looks like a fun track!
