I measured my ride height with a tape measure at all four wheel wells. I can never get the right front closer than 1/4" lower than the left. It probably settled more on the left rear and I hadn't checked it in a long time.

The importance is that you want all four corners the same with the driver sitting in the car since you rarely ghost ride it on a track. You can extrapolate what you could expect from your weight by using the weight of whoever gives the info.

I suppose you are correct if you just want the stock weights. My car was lowered with GC and QA1's. we went a bit off the OP's original topic.

If I had to guess, you probably started by counting the threads on the Ground Control collars and set them all the same.

Then, because the front right *is* heavier, you probably noticed it sagging on that corner and adjusted it up. That transferred the weight to the opposite corner. Obviously, it's not possible to have all four corners set the same height if weight distribution is unequal. So I think you did the right thing.

My mistake. I incorrectly assumed that you were on stock suspension as I was. That makes sense knowing you had coilovers.

Well finally got to throwing the car on the scales yesterday before doing my Alradco swap.

Bone stock 2005 CTS-V. Filled the tank to the click and drove .5 miles back to the shop. 32PSI all around on Nexen 3000 stock size tires.

Zero the scales:



Car by itself:



With 230# driver:



And another Alradco success:





It was late in the day so I didn't bother to bring out the scales again to check out the difference, but the Alradco thread has differences in their weights + the extra 1/2 gallon of coolant capacity.
