Re: What's corner weights?
.
Having the correct weight sitting on each tire is absolutely critical to balanced handling performance. In other words, you want the car to behave the same in both left and right turns.
With the driver sitting in the car, ideally you want equal weight distribution across the front (the same weight on each front tire), and the same in the rear. When adjustable ride height coilovers are installed, adjusting the ride height can easily screw up corner weights. Also, the springs will often settle after they've been on the car for a while, so corner weights should be checked after a month or so.<ul><li><a href="http://www.grmotorsports.com/cornerweight.html">Understanding Corner Weights</a></li></ul>

Weight distribution thru a corner ...

You might find this interesting.
Among other things, it shows why our cars understeer exiting a corner under full throttle.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/racing/msgs/22637.phtml">A8/S8 weight distribution</a></li></ul>
