therefore start with pins that will just show weight distribution on the car then go to scales at a later stage.
I do agree with you all the way.
When using scales you have to tighten the springs down so your car is on the droop screws. I start with 3 points first, one in the middle ( point on the scale in the hole ) and set up wheels on the other two scales. I know it takes longer this way
You can find new digital cooking scales for $20 and most of the time you only do this one time. When that is done you can set you sway bars and springs on all 4 scales. With LIPO's you have lots of wight to move so front to back is something you can look at. Most people have everything but the scales already and you can do all this with two scales.
