Weighed my car!
Well that is the true weight. NOT without driver. When I scale a car I could care less what it weighs without driver. What were the corner weights with driver?
Now we are getting somewhere. Before you go race the car next put the car back on the scales and get your preload right. You want 10-12 lbs more on the passenger rear vs. the driver rear.
Right now I have a BMR extreme duty torque arm, air bag in right rear, big sway bar (not sure what brand), BMR SFC's non adj. BMR LCA's and Competition Eng. 3 way adjustable shocks. All this stuff was on the car when I bought it, I also plan on getting some adjustable LCA's before calling you. Is there anything else you would recommend me getting over this winter? I think I mentioned before that I am gonna be adding to the cage to make it a full 10 pt.
If I make the passenger side 10-12 lbs heavier than the drivers side I'll have to add around 130 LBS, what exactly will that do for the car?
Thanks for any suggestions, I am no suspension guru and can use all the help I can get.

Verdad Gallardo You dont add weight you move it. Get the QA1s so we can move the weight with them. Did you have air in the bag when you scaled it??
what exactly did you remove and where did you get your lightwieght carpet from? pm me if its easier please. very interested since I am building up a 2000 trans am 6 speed and am shootingfor sub 3000 lbs without my fat as in it.
I got my carpet from Hobby Lobby, it's not easy to make it look good but if you take your time like I did then it can be done.
I posted earlier in this thread what weighed the most, there is also a weight reduction list in this section that tells what all everything weighs.
