I have been riding the struggle bus trying to get my car corner balanced with the new coilovers.
My last set balanced out really easily and they were so close it was almost too good to be true. This new set I cannot get set up the way I would like. the front driver side seems to want to be 50lbs heavier no matter what I do. I have always been told you adjust the ride height, not the spring preload when balancing. My past experiences with coilovers have shown this to to be the correct way, and there was never a noticeable difference in ride height corner to corner. This time, almost every corner has a 1cm difference.
Then, after reconnecting the sway bar links, the weights went even more off the rails.The links are unloaded when it's on the wheels, as they should be. The only other thing I "think' might be a factor is all of the chassis bracing "might" need to be loosened to slack when doing the weights. I have done this 3x time now and it never comes out right.
Does anyone have any insight or tips as to where I might be going wrong with this and how to fix it?
This is my worksheet with my results before I reconnected the sway bars.
