interested in getting your car weighed?
 
I found a good deal on a corner to corner weigh scale and was thinkin about getting it for my dad's shop, just wondering what the interest on this and what you would be willing to pay to get your car weighed

Well, If Im just getting my car weighed, I could go to the local dump and pay $5.00. But if I wanted to have someone adjust my suspension to obtain a certain corner weight distribution then you could charge alot of money. Especially for race cars and street suspension set-ups that have the provisions for such an adjustment. Unfortunatly this service is already provided by most Higher end Alignment shops. there was a really good article written on just such a procedure in Hot Rod magizine about a year ago. They were working on the 80's mustang for the camaro mustang challenge. They used that car for a couple articles and used the tools and scale set up from Maximum Motorsports, they also showed how to do it yourself on the cheep.....and to all the honda owners the procedures and tools are not specific for mustangs.

Coilovers are *FOR* (not just adjustable ride height) corner wieghing if used properly.

I'd pay around $100 to have it done, and haven't looked to do it yet, but would like to.

All it would take is word of mouth from so folks with cood experience, otherwise, you're just another shop with an dalignment machine (or in this case- weigh plates)

i would pay around 100-150 for corner balance most places charge much more than that though.
