Only know of one place that can do corner weighting and its just too damned expensive for what it is. If anyone has access to a set of scales and would mind letting me use it or if you know of a place that can do it for a reasonable price please let me know.

Sweet!
Think you can find out for me John?

After this past weeks auto-x I realize how nice it would be to have it done. Had a passenger roughly the same weight as myself riding along and when he got out I could definately notice a difference for the worse in the slaloms.

They come as a set of four and you put one under each tire. You can then corner weight your car or adjust coilover height to try and get each the two cross sections (FL/RR FR/RL) weighted the same.

Bill if you are talking about weighing your car then why not just go to a LOCAL recycling yard and ask if it would be ok if you drove your car on the scale and then have them tell you the weight. That way itll be free. Trust me they do it all the time.
