That comes out to:
49.8% Left
50.2% Right

Front to rear ratios:
1920 for the front and 1677 for the rear
53.4% Front
46.6% Rear

I'd say this is getting pretty close, a few tweeks should get it a little better. I will pay close attnetion to the front and rear ratios. In the interest of time I will experiment with small spacers between the tires and scale to see how much the front needs to be raised. I will adjust them some but too much where the car looks jacked up in the front.

I was also talking to my alignment specialist last night and he was mentioning that the rack that he was using at the time was not very accurate. The frame was stressed out and bent a little, one of the floating pads stick a little, and the type of alignment technology it uses has a potential flaw. It bounces signals from one corner to the next counterclockwise around the car which also could introduce some cumulitive error if one of the sensors are not absolutely mounted perfect and calibrated properly. He has recently opened up a new shop where he has a brand spanin new alignment rack using the latest technolody. We will take some new initial measurements to see how this rack performs compared to the other one.

I personally think my biggest mistake was staggering the front and rear tire section widths to such an extreme. It shouldn't take long to fix that, a few track days and I will need new tires before I can say tt.net :)
