Default C6 weight distribution

Just had my car on the corner scales and wondered why the RR would be @100lbs lighter than the RF? LF and LR are within 5lbs of each other without me in the car.

Just curious.

I don't know if this would have anything to do with it but the dual gas tanks could have an effect on this. If the right side tank was full and the left side tank was empty, this may be the cause. I don't know how they operate though, that's just a guess.

Sounds like you need to get the car corner weighted, you are way off. The car is going to push turning left and be loose turning right

Car had 1/4 tank of gas.

Corner weighting is a need at some point but not just yet.

I wasn't sure if this was common on other C5/6's as well stock or modded suspension?
