Mine didn't come with them, I think the PO removed them. What I did was go to McDonalds every few days and supersize and made sure to get the biggest shamrock shake they would sell me. I now weigh over 700 pounds and I am able to keep the front end of my EX on the ground. On the freeway before I was lifting up at around 35mph and it scared the ***** out of the wife!
Er, um, maybe I should ask the question on Monday...I guess it's like a "henway"...
My guess if a 4x4 V10 was on 4 scales:
LF = 2350 lbs
RF = 2350 lbs
LR = 1400 lbs
RR = 1400 lbs
I"m looking at a couple of spring charts and want to estimate where I'll be in the "spring". Too close to the auxillary spring and the ride will be bad.

Make sense?
Come on guys , how much clearer could he have made it..

No kidding! I knew what I was asking for! Seriously, I thought "corner weight" was a common term and not comedic fodder. At a minimum, glad I could provide some fun.
Is it even possible to adjust the suspension to balance the weight at each corner?
Yes, simply increasing or decreasing the air pressure in a tire or placing a small spacer under a spring will dramtically increase or decrease corner weight but to what end.
He's using the wrong terminology. Corner weight is a racing setup term measured using a scale under each tire as seen in these pictures.
OK now I'm really confused is there actually a corner weight?
Technically yes but no one with a street car measures it nor do they measure rake, cross weight, %front/rear, stagger, etc.... because it's effect is minimal. Put simply, it's a setup term used in racing where a scale is placed under each tire on a perfectly level platform and the car weight is measure at each corner. It's easily adjustable and can make an enormous handling difference on a race track with a properly setup race car.
