Default Re: Weight imbalance

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this issue with the S710.

I put my car, ready-to-run, on balancing posts, and found that the car is WAAAAYYYYY heavy on the right side. To compensate and get the tweak out of the car, I had to put a lot of spring preload on the right side shocks (front & rear).

Anyone else find this?
Yes, we discuss this issue on earlier stage.
1st was Mark Green, he put 60 gram on tank (left)side.
My car feels better too with that addition.
Later on we found that its not that imbalanced is making the car tends to pointing 1 direction.
It was unperfect diff that could caused that, especially when diff adjuster bolt is used (IMHO)
Then Julius came up with perfect tweaking methode to compromise that, it is awesome - in the bench.
On track condition ?? different story
(Me+Pyramid realise this later on..)
Can we brake a car when it has a diferent preload (front) shock spring ??
Again, Im starting this issue to gain a health conversation and brainstorming.
