Default Corner Weighting locals

I know this has been brought up before, but it's been a while. Where can I get corner weighting done?

Dave Smith bought a set and is doing corner weighting now. His email address is smithdl4@cox.net. I'll be doing it eventually, just really haven't had the time. Sports and Imports does it @ $70/hr I think. Another shop in the area also has scales, but I can't remember who.

Most coilovers are pretty easy to adjust. $70/hr is normal shop labor. Call up just about any shop and ask them what their hourly rate for work is.

There's more then just throwing the car up on the scales and weighing it.

The objective is to make the weights on the scales proportionally equal. Since weight is only transferred diagonally, you balance the weight by transferring it from front to back (or back to front), diagonally across the car.
