I also am using corner scales and pad levelers with roll-off, which leaves me on a perfectly level surface, critical for weighting and an exact alignment. If you were to buy, you're looking at a lot more... Cheap scales just aren't worth it. Local clubs sometimes have them available to rent.



You can get close to the same height with careful stacking of MDF or similar and a long level... That's not perfect though. Each of the pads I have are at a different rise front and back (less side to side).



I got stuck last night unable to loosen the rear LCA nuts... I left it at 49.8% cross weight, about 25.5" ride height, -3.5 front camber and -2.3/-1.9 rear, with toe off all around.


Might be easier to win the lotto to be honest lmao!
