SETTING CROSS WEIGHT:

-

Once you’ve completed static- weight percentage­s move onto your cross weights

Ensure your sway bars are disconnect­ed from one side to avoid this loading up a corner as it will throw off measuremen­t

By raising the ride height on any given corner, you are increasing the weight on that corner and the weight on the corner diagonally opposite. The other two corners will lose weight as a result

By lowering the ride height on any given corner, you are reducing the weight on that corner and the weight on the corner diagonally opposite. The other two corners will increase in weight as a result

Instead of making large adjustment­s at any given corner, work your way around the vehicle making small changes at a time. This will keep ride height as even as possible

Make sure to grab a pen and notepad to document every change and weight added. This will come in handy if adjustment­s are needed at the racetrack away from the scale set

Control arm angles are another great way to measure changes made, as pictured

Remember, any change in tyre pressure or ride height will have an effect on cross- weight percentage
