| Steve Mitchell checks readings on the electronic corner scales. |
Here is how the stock Hatchi weighed out at each corner.
| Left Weight | Right Weight | Battery Location | Front to Rear Weight Percentage | Cross Weight | |
| Front Weight | 725 | 642 | Stock left front of engine compartment | 54/46 | 49.4% |
| Rear Weight | 606 | 552 | |||
As you can see there is quite a bit of difference between the left and right weights of the car. The cross weight isn’t bad considering that the car had not been corner balanced.
 |
| The cars suspension was bounced every time the battery was moved in order to get more accurate readings. Tire binding and suspension bushing sticksion affects the accuracy of readings and bouncing the car helps to settle the suspension. |
Now we move the battery to the right side of the trunk
| Left Weight | Right Weight | Battery Location | Front to Rear Weight Percentage | Cross Weight | |
| Front Weight | 668 | 646 | right rear of trunk | 52/48 | 50.8% |
| Rear Weight | 638 | 575 | |||
Now you can see that the weights from the right side of the car to the left are much more equal. Best of all, the front to rear weight percentage has improved two percent putting the car pretty close to the ideal 50/50 weight distribution. This is the same affect as setting the engine back around 10 inches! A two percent difference in weight distribution is easy for a driver to feel. The corner weights can easily be corrected with some minor adjustments to the coilovers.
