My stock '02 Turbo (when it was stock) had these weights with a full tank of gas, sunroof delete, indash CD, electric seats each with power lumbar, and floor mats...

LF = 660...RF = 687

LR = 1093...RR = 1045

Total weight = 3485

Any idea why your corner weights don't add up to your total weight?

How much does the EVO exhaust weigh? Is it lighter than stock?

Hey rmrmd and Dock!
The first car listed is balanced OK (LF+RR is very close to RF+LR)
The second car is off. The difference is 47 pounds, so one
spring is overpreloaded probably.
Dock! Your car needs some looking at. Your cross weights are off
by 75 lbs!

For example, I recently blew a shock so it had to be rebuilt
and put back on. After checking the gas pressure in all the
shock, neither the shop nor I would have let the car off the
scales until the cross weights were within a few pounds.

My car was stock when I took those numbers. It has X73 now, but I don't have the new corner weights.
