What kind of weight distribution should I shoot for in adjusting corner weights of a 951 ?

25% in each of the four corners ?

WIth driver ? what% if w/o driver ?

I need some experienced voices.

thank you.

Weight distribution for a competition set up (alignment) utilizing free weights.

Weight of driver complete with suit and helmet is measured.
Place 85% of the total in the seat. Stack the weights so that the mass is in the centre of the seat area.
Place 10% of the total weight on the floor in front of the seat.
Place 5% of the total weight on the floor at the pedal cluster.

This method will be only second in accuracy to using the actual driver complete with suit etc. As for the vehicle, make sure that the fluids are all topped up to normal levels, and that the gas tank is at the 1/2 full mark. <hr></blockquote>

There's simply no way you're gonna get 25% on each wheel. What you want to do is get the cross-diagonal sums to be as even as possible.

So LF+RR = RF+LR.

Not tough to throw the actual driver into the car when you weigh it. Also disconnect the swaybar end-links and tie up out of the way. Gas should be at 1/2 tank (average of full to empty).

Thank you very much for the information.
