Scaling F-Body GM

Scaling is very helpful if you just built a new car, or it has been in storage a long time, or in a crash. It can save a lot of time if it pulls to one side as well.

If you install a stiffer spring in the left front, the wheel weight of the right rear will increase. The opposite corners effect each other, no matter what type of suspension.

Also, the preload adjustment on Caltracs have an effect as well.

I had King Race Cars scale my 69 Camaro a couple years ago. He heated and bent one front coil to get the rear wheel weights about equalized. I'm sure that I recorded the corner weights in that year's log book. If you are interested in knowing the numbers, send a PM, and I'll dig out the books and try to find the info.
