Anyone have scales?
I'm wanting to corner balance my car and was wondering anyone in the pdx/vancouver area had scales I could use?

Ebay. Buy two of these 300342708398. they rated at 400lb. put 2by4 on top and you got 800lb scale. Enough for corner balance.

Bad bad way to corner balance. You need to weigh the car at static, so you need scales under all 4 tires at the same time to the suspension sets at ride height.
