Just got back from the shop after a looong session of corner balancing and alignment. We tried a number of different setups and this is what we ended up with as a baseline for this weekend's autox:

LF : 833lbs RF : 812lbs

LR : 419lbs RR : 370lbs

LF/RR cross : 49.4%
RF/LR cross : 50.4%

Front : 67.5%
Rear : 32.5%

Total weight including driver : 2434lbs


Alignment:

LF:
Camber -0.5
Caster 2.2

RF:
Camber -0.9
Caster 2.8

LR:
Camber -1.2

RR:
Camber -1.2

Total Front Toe: -1/16"
Total Rear Toe: -1/8"


I know the numbers aren't ideal, but we were trying to find a compromise with setups. I originally wanted more toe out in the front but was advised to start at -1/16" and work out from there to get used to running toe out (previously I had run toe in).

How do you guys think this looks so far? I never knew my NX was so front heavy! After this event I think we're gonna strap the car up again and see if any improvements can be made. Opinions? Suggestions? TIA

Check your math. You have LR-RF cross weight of 1231, (GW 2434) equals a 50.58 CW% and RR-LF CW of 1203, for 49.42%. That ads up to 100% now :) My '93 classic has a 64% front bias, 67 seems high. Your left/right is 51.44/48.56, move your battery to the left rear and you should get that more even and drop your cross weight to 50% +/- .2 and front bias as well.

Moving the battery to the right rear (passenger side) would be better. :D
