That was with a tape measure instead of scales... We put me in the car and then got an even height to the fenders and to the ground all around. Not very exact by any stretch, but we autocrossed on it for a weekend and it wasn't catastrophic either.

After we do this, I'm buying a lifetime alignment (depending on the terms) from Firestone though. You'll definitely need to be aligned again.

FYI I believe they will only do factory spec alignment so be sure to check with them before committing any money. A performance shop that performs 4 wheel alignments really is the way to go.

A member here (pyran) got his 8 aligned at Firestone and I believe he said they could only do OE specs. It is worth checking before spending any money.

Definitely checking that sort of thing first. I also want to know how often you can use it etc.
