It is also more balanced.
I thought I would pose this to the group. There is another thread
here where the person is making a case to replace the shocks with something solid, then using the scales to see if the car is balanced front/back and right/left. The springs on the shocks interfere with accurate weighing on the scales.
To my brain it seems like he is wrong. I weigh 275lbs whether I'm standing on bricks or on top of two beach balls, right?
So, is he correct? Should we balance the chassis with solid mounts instead of the springs/shocks?
