I'm sure Stasis has corner balanced a few in their day during coilover installations.

The scales that they use are highly accurate to the single pound.

Thanks!

Default we almost never corner balance a streetcar

Default Thanks for your input Jason. Did you ever weigh an RS4 on your scales? What was it and how did it

compare to Audi's numbers? That's the question here.

In another thread, another RS4 owner weighed his stock US spec car (with subwoofer and audio equipment in the trunk and a full gas tank) and it came to 3800 lbs.

I don't believe the number, so I wanted to see what others had.

If the US spec RS4 really was 3800 lbs with full tank and audio system, I'd be a lot more interested in the car. :-)

Default 1917kg...

That is roughly 4226lbs

So say around 3950lbs without me and my junk in the trunk (I weigh 245lbs)

3950 lbs would be pretty darn close to the US spec weight of 3957 lbs

Default It was a weigh station on Hwy 1 in British Columbia just before Abbotsford

They leave the scale on even when the station is closed...

Hotchkis corner weighted it after sway bars went on...and with me in it.
