Weighing the Frog

The car was put on scales today. The reason for doing the weight now (besides pure curiosity) is to help size the springs and shocks, which will be ordered ASAP.

Total weight (sans springs/shocks and driveshaft) is 1,846lbs, with a 48:52 Front:Rear balance. A little heavier than I expected, but still not too bad. The rear-bias is also preferred to front bias, but regardless, it's pretty close to the perfect 50:50 goal. When I pull out the current beefy steel strut bars and replace them with proper springs and shocks, plus add weight of the 11-inch long driveshaft, I'll probably be around 1,925lbs.
