You summarized this pretty well. Great job! The undecisiveness of the height is the main cause of the cumulative cost: you lower it ($$), then corner balance it $$, then align it $$. Then you change your mind to get it lowered again, or perhaps getting it raised again....resulting to a cyclical and repeating cost. Believe me, I went through this process. I believe that there could be a point where 'cosmetics' and correctly-balanced car can meet. As far as "people not knowing about the safety benefit", that is probably something that sports car driver should begin to get education on. BTW, automotive scales can cost over $1,000.00. He, who can invent an affordable bathroom scale that could measure up to 1,000 lbs, could make some money marketing the gizmo. |
