Default Cross Weight, and stuff.

I'v driven my car about 1200 miles now. Still getting used to it. But I didn't think the car felt that precise. I had some time today to mess with it.

I raised the front ride height about 3/4". I managed to scrape the bottom of the scoop a couple of times.

Then I put it on the scales. This is the baseline.




I made a minor adjustment to the left front




This is with about 1/2 tank of fuel, and no weight in the driver's seat. Sometimes I'm in the car alone, and sometimes not.

Unfortunately, there is no adjustment for the rear, or I would have taken a little weight out of the right rear. If I was racing this car, I would make that adjustable.

I also checked the front end alignment. Caster and camber are fine. But it had 1/8" toe out. I changed that to 1/16" toe in.

Did it help? YES! A noticeable improvement in feel and ride. I like it.
