You will also need to take advantage of the maximum left side weight and check to see if your total weight is within the rules and the front to rear balance is where you and your chassis builder want it. Emphasis should be placed on being race ready before you begin the final scaling procedure as all of these factors will have an effect on the end result."

Oh... by the way... I am an authority
Yeah I saw that, but I read it to mean that you still had to do your alignment after the corner weights. Now as an example of the opposite treatment, these guys do the corner weights first and then do the aligment. http://www.moose-motorsport.co.uk/su...on_tuning.html Now to be honest, I've found sports car threads for vettes, Lotus, and others where posts say exactly the opposite (going in both directions), so it would be nice to have something even more specific.
