Any DOT cruiser will have the scales in his car. Now whether he lets you use them or not is up to him. But I know guys that have gotten the DOT guys to let them weigh their cars so they could get each corner weighed.

^^^ will not give you corner weights. Just total

I'm not going to argue this one,.. because I honestly dont know how they do it here in Fla. But 11 yrs ago in Md you could go to any weigh station and for $10 you could get your car weighed on flat scales,.. each cruiser had 6 flat scales that they use on the side of the road to weigh a truck by driving on them. Measures each wheel and then add up the total. The weigh stations as well as most truck stops have CAT scales,.. but they just give total weight. The individual flat scales will give corner weight. I see DOT pulling over dumb over weight 1ton trucks with trailers all the time. And its not just for safety violations. They MUST have a way to weigh them on the side of the road. Else how could they validate an over weight ticket?

Edit:

What about some of those newer alignment machines? Dont they give corner weight for each wheel?

Brutal Metal is correct, I do have scales at the shop, but you would have to come by to use them. Sorry, they don't get loaned out.

Oh come on! I'll bring them back.... I promise.

But seriously, when can I swing by? Weekends possible? I'm tired of 1.58-1.61 60's. Need to get my suspension dialed in. Full race trim right?

I plugged in my numbers in a IC calculator, granted I wasn't in the car but they can't be too far off:

IC: 134"
IC Height: 12.2"
AS: 44%

Thanks Joe.

Give me a call and we will get it worked out. A Saturday won't be a problem as long as I am at the shop working.
