Hi Wayne,
Thanks for your advice.
If auto crossing and track days 818s. Would you do the balance with equivalent weight in the driver's seat?

On most cars, you will need a suitable CTD to place in the seat to simulate your tail being in the seat. On these exact cars you sit so close to the F to R CG that it doesn't affect the cross much at all. I see as little as .1% with me in vs out.

Wayne, if you set cross weights with some ride height adjust and then check ride height, the ride height will obviously has changed and there is nothing you can do to adjust it again since it would change the crosses, no?

True but typically you are talking about a 1/16" or less ride height difference side to side. I'll take that difference to get even cross weights every time.

Make sure you either have roll off pads to move the car off and on the scales after adjusting the springs or put two layers of trash bags between the tires and scales. Then push down on the front and rear of the car to even out the ride stance. The tires can get side loaded from jacking up and mess with your readings if you don't.

OK, I'll bite. What is a CTD?
Best I could come up with is " Cheaper Than Dirt"

Found the problemo

Loose main shaft nut.







It jacked the case pretty bad and I'm having a hard time finding just those replacement parts so probably a new tranny.
