step 1. take everything out of the car that is normally not in there, and leave everything that usually is (autolock, club, cd's etc.)

step 2. measure the wheelbase and track of your tires
step 3. get the 4 scales and make sure they are on perfectly level ground. if you're getting it professionally corner weighted, there are lasers and high precision gauges involved to get a perfectly level surface for the scales (which is what i had done :thumbup: )
step 4. make sure that all tire pressures are even.
step 5. get the car on the scales (one scale per tire)
step 6. evaluate the weight distribution, and adjust accordingly, until desired weight/cross weight distribution is achieved.
step 6b. while in the car, sit in normal driving position and dont move, as the scales are constantly reading the changes in weight..

My front driver side was carrying an additional 125-135 pounds than the front passenger side. not terrible, but not so hot either...the cross distribution was pretty off as well, at 57/43 percent...

to get the weight off the front d/s, we lowered the passenger side rear a half an inch, and raised d/s rear a half inch. everything is affected diagonally. we could have adjust the fronts as well, but it wasnt necessary.

it takes a few tries to get it just right, but now the front d/s and p/s are within 8 pounds and the rears are within 3 pounds.

There might be other steps i'm leaving out, but thats pretty much it...

Freakin awesome i tells ya
