Scaling / front end weight?

[1KWIKSIX]

Originally posted this in the Autocross / Road Racing section, but thought I'd post here as well.

Anyone know the front end weight of a turbo buick (87 GN) with A/C.
I have replaced the factory radiator with an Alradco Aluminum Radiator, tubular upper & lower front control arms, GTA 16" Aluminum Rims.

Am looking at different spring rates & trying to decide based on vehicles front weight.

Thanks in advance.

The Best thing to do is have Your car scaled to get the exact weights plus at that point you will now know each corner weight therefore you can correct make changes to the car to correct them!

All cars will vary a little bit depending on what has all been done to them...

Our test car scaling can be seen here ---> http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/threads/complete-dse-suspension-build.329141/

rims and lower arms dont affect weight in reference to spring choice , nor do brakes so their weight would be deducted anyway from the scaled weight , and uppers dont fully affect the weight

basically stock i would guess you're around 1950# on the scales 1800 for spring
