    Question: Should I scale the car before or after doing the final alignment?

    Ladies & Gentlemen Who Race,

    Should I re-scale my car before or after doing the final alignment?

    When we did it last year we set things up where it was pretty much 50/50 Left-Right & 50/50 Front-Rear.
    My ride height is set where I want it and my shock thread counts are within 1 count of each other left to right.
    Also, the car is sitting level with nobody it it with no real measurable lean when measuring the frame to the ground.
    My driveline is heavy and was moved forward about 6" to make everything properly fit so that's why I'm at 50/50 F.R.
    Also, my front sway bar, when connected or disconnected, is neutral with no pre-load left to right.
    The rear is the standard 3-link with no sway bar and I'm running the stock Red Koni set up.

    This Will Be A Street Car & Only Drag Raced and/or Auto Crossed 3-4 Times Each Year!
