Last year when I was corner balancing I tested what 1 psi of tire pressure did to the weight on that corner. If I recall correctly 1 psi added to the tire added 3 lbs to that corner. It made me really wonder if I was perfectly level with the plates. I had been using a piece of steel and a 6 foot level to try and get everything level to start. After realizing how far I could be off I decided to get a laser level to check my pads...and boy did I realize I was off. I use peel and stick floor tiles to get everything level and found out that 2 pads were off by one tile thickness and another one was off two tiles.
With brand new tires on, all set to 33psi, and all dampers inflated to 180psi I got started. I had:
903. 898
860. 786
51% cross weight
At this point I double checked with the laser that all the pads were still level to each other. Just to make sure the cars weight didn't compress any pad more than another or something else.
After my first adjustment of 1 full turn of ride height added to the right rear I landed at:
914. 888
848. 797
I then did another 2/3 of a turn and landed perfect:
920. 881
843. 803
50.01%
