Has anyone checked out this chassis balancing tool from Integy yet ? Think it is or might be useful ?

trf racer

yes i have 1 and used it and its awsome.
the car vis so neutrol left and right.
its as good as the hudy set up system.
if you use both like me you can get a perfect set-up.
i highly reccomend it.

IRS makes a much nicer system, easier to use as well, but nowhere in that same price range...

How can that be accurate?

You have to pick the car up and set it back down 4 times to get all corner weights no? There is no way that can be as accurate as 4 individual scales I wouldn't think.

Any care to chime in on this?

trf racer

have you got a link to it?
cheers

trf racer

you have to lift it more then once b/c its best just to double check because when adjusting the front the back can go out and you may have to readjust.
it takes a fair bit of time but at the end its gonna improve performance and feel easier to drive.

wow they are deer.

a lot smaller.

That's my point! You could get 25 different readings from that deal.

I know when I worked in a race shop setting up real race cars, I would spend plenty of time just getting my scales 100% accurate as far as level and on plane with each other, before ever setting the car on them.

I cannot imagine loading and unloading the car 10 times, inadvertantly, one or more of the scales would be moved, altered or otherwise disturbed, thus causing an error in measurement.

Just a thought. I think I'll use the old postal scale method and a calulator. Simple math and you can calculate crossweight (wedge) and percentages.

if you shop around you can pick up 4 scales for aprox $120 usd

That scale is way too big and not accurate enough. That's a 25lb scale and only grauates at 2.8g

You really need a 500gram scale that graduates in 0.1g. Those you won't get for that price, figure on spending double that amount, but the question is of course...

How bad do you want to win?

I use a simple one scale setup to weigh my cars. I use this setup I made to balance the car front\rear and left\right. Then when its all right I put on a tweak board just to check and if my ride hights are all on it is always perfect. Scaling is always the last thing I do. Not that Ive been doing this for years or anything I just started but Id like anyones feedback on how I do this any criticism will be apreciated. The reason that Integy states that they use one scale is that a 4 scale system has calibration problems? Im not sure why it would if you had all 4 scales perminantly fixed to somthing and releveled before every use.
