Here are my results I posted in my build thread.
I have a local buddy with some scales so he let me borrow them.
Here are the initial readings:
Total weight was 2468 pounds. This was with about 1/2 tank of gas. As you can see the rears had quite a large difference which validated my theory on the right rear having more weight on it causing it to have better traction.
I made a series of adjustments. Very easily accomplished thanks to the lift and pneumatic jack. I had it up and down about 10 times. I would lower it onto the wood blocks and roll it forward onto the scales each time. I also did a series of adjustments with 190lbs of dumb bells in the drivers seat. About half my rides I have someone with me.
Here are the numbers after I finished the adjustments:
I am very pleased how that worked out. I took it on a test drive and the straight line traction on hard launches seems much improved. Honestly with my street driving I am so far away from the handling limits of the car I don't think it will really make a noticeable difference on cornering. I am sure if I were at the limit it would be noticeable. I do enjoy hard accelerations though and am very happy with that improvement.
