I was skeptical about it myself at first but the more I think about what he said the more sense it makes.

The guy sets up, sponsors, and is a crew chief on a professional race cars that have won and are competitive at a number of different levels, so I would put a lot of weight in what he told me.

Specifically he said ballast the weight like you mentioned, set the ride height, you are done. I am not personally sure how that accounts for front to back, it definitely does not account for cross. But his point is that even if you balance it perfectly, because of the soft subframe and knuckle/control bushings, it is going to go out of whack almost instantly. He showed me our OEM bushings, they are very soft, you can depress them with your finger. I had a hard time believing it myself but the more I think about, the more I think he is right.

And I am no fan of formula D, I just go to his shop for tire mounting and to shoot the breeze. Like Formula D or not those guys know more about setting up a car than probably anyone.
