Going to set the car up on the flat patch this weekend. When people have had their cars set up by companies in the past how close have they got your front corner weights and what percentage front and rear.

While im here asking what cambers and toes should I be going for?

From reading here im thinking 1-2mm toe in on the front and parallel on the rear?

Sounds pretty good to me, maybe a degree of negative camber as well. Then take it for a drive and see if you like it. Corner weights are worth doing if you have the equipment, but I don't think they are as important as the other paramenters, unless they are grossly out

How will you simulate your own weight, or do you have someone who can sit in for you

We have an old set of Longacre scales sitting there at work begging to be used! Would be a shame not to!

I doubt I would notice the difference even on track. Its not something I would pay to be done as long as they are vaugely close. As for weight I would just get someone similar to sit in the car while I made the adjustments, or vice versa if im feeling lazy!

Also after chatting to the Mac1 guys about weight and with lots of numbers flying about would be interesting to get an actual figure on it.
