Corner weighting

Postby Sailor » Thu Oct 27, 2011 9:46 pm

Ohlins installed and I'm putting some new tyres on my NC.
While they all have the same tread, I'd like to have a look at the corner weighting.
Anyone familiar with someone in Sydney who has the gear and will do a decent job.

Chris has a set of scales but he's at Orimbah and tied up with High Country Targa for a while.
I'm on the que.

East Coast Suspension at Taren Point do it also. Wasn't cheap. From memory around $400 18 months ago when I enquired.

you guys do great work! you were recommended to me 30 years ago. You bent/adjusted some bits on my Subaru many years ago to fix a tyre wear problem and I never had the problem again.

Straight up corner weight is $264.

Obviously if you need an alignment as well this is extra.

Just sprucing the place up a little with a fresh coat of paint.

My black NB is usually parked out the front.

Feel free to say gday if your getting some work done.
