They are wrong. You should beg, borrow, or steal a set of race scales and set your ride height, and corner weights, properly. Or, just take it to a race suspension shop and they'll set them for you and provide a printout of the cross percentages. It is not a difficult task, and not expensive, it just takes a little time.
So, just what is the 'proper' cross-weight?

I have my own (Rebco) racing scales but I have always set up cars for turning left (oval tracks) and start with 49% then 'fine tune' to each track.

I *assume* on a street car, the desired 'cross' would be 50%???


Thanks In Advance,
