I tried a search, with no matches. I was wondering what the corner weight of an s13 is. Mods or none. Just want to get a close answer. Also can anyone explain the gvw front/rear that is on the sticker in the door jam? It's showing the rear higher than the front and the numbers don't add up.

the sticker should explain itself, the gvw is the total amount of weight the chassis can hold, including the weight of the car. My car says the front can hold more than the rear as well, My gvw is 42xx lbs, the rear is 1969lbs and the front is 22xx, so it sounds about right to me, also, im not too sure what cornering weight is?, care to explain?

Corner weighing is simply measuring the weight at each of the 4 wheels individually to find out the fr/rr and rt/lt ratio. I guess I was thinking the gvw is the weight of the car. It sure did sound high.
