Wheel alignment - Full tank of gas ?
I don't need to do this, but I had a 964 '90 and I read Adrian Streather's bible about this car

I remember he recommended making the wheel alignment with a full tank of gas
And if you are more anal (
) then do the alignment with you sitting inside the car (if most of the time the car is driven only with you inside it)
Your thoughts ?
Pro shop where I got my alignment done dropped 190 lbs worth of weights on driver seat prior to alignment. And, yes, full tank.

if you are not going to corner balance first don't worry about driver weight...anywhere between a half and full tank will be fine

Corner balance applies only to coilovers, right ?
For cars with normal shocks/springs suspension setup just somewhere between half and full tank of gas and ready to go, correct ?
