Weight distribution and ratios

[Draconis]

Post your S12's weight. Front. Rear. Whole.
After you do that, post up what is with you S12: mods or weight reduction.
Gas liquid weight: approx 8.18lbs per gallon.

You can do this by going to a weigh station after hours. No one goes there but the scales are usually left on. At least up here in Wa.


Draconis: 1988 S12 VG30E Automatic

- Stock car. Spare tire in rear, stock rims with rubber (15in), full tank of gas

Front: 1655 lbs
Rear: 1450 lbs
Total: 3105 lbs

53.3% weight in front, 46.7% weight in rear



Draconis: 1987 S12 RB20DET

- full size spare in rear, battery rear passenger corner above gas tank, RB20DET swap, FMIC, Imprezza seats, SSR GP-Omega rims (17in), low profile wheels, full tank of gas

Front: 1600 lbs

52.81% weight in front, 47.19% weight in rear

*These weights are subject to 5lbs possible difference above or below. But to help eliminate that variable, both Randy and I jumped on the scale separately without cars to see how accurate it was, and they were accurate to our personal weights. We will be doing these weights one more time with the RBS12 later this week to make sure of the numbers.

individual corner weight figures are far more usefull. And until i have coilovers on mine one day i dont have any need to do it.
