Default Car scale

Does anyone know where a good 'car' scale is? Even better, a 4 wheel scale used to balance and tune suspension. I'm interested in knowing the weight of my car, as well as tuning coilovers the right way.

I have corner weight scales. Send me a PM and let me know if you just want it weighed once or if you are trying to adjust it and reweigh the car and I will give you a quote.

Yeah, cool, I keep forgetting about Sims, it would be the easiest, hopefully they'll let me step out of the car when the car is on the scale. But I'll slao look into that public scale as well, they might not charge as much.

Thanks 69vette, I'll be sure to hit you up when I'm ready, I actually have 2 cars I'm messing around with. When the suspension goes on the Civic, I'll need to adjusted and reweigh and so forth.

i took my truck to the henrico county dump off nuckols rd when they weren't busy and asked if they could tell me how much my truck weighed, no cost. probably not what you're looking for and not as accurate, maybe 10#.

the one at pete rose landscaping off the cut-thru road near the wawa and between staples mill rd and hungary spring rd, is accurate to about 10# as well.

Most local dumps can weigh your car too. THey use it to see how much trash you've dumped for the month.
