Cliff, thanks for the little video review of the scales. Regarding the so called 'drift' that you mentioned, I have an idea. You said to place your car onto the scales you were lowering it, with your vehicle lift , onto the scale platforms . That is the wrong way to do that. As you know, when you lift your car using the Porsche lift points on the chassis, your suspension unloads and your wheels change camber, caster and toe settings. When you lower the car onto the scales the suspension , over a little time, attempts to move the wheels to the loaded position. If you were to drive onto to the scales using ramps you would not get this phenomena . All good suspension shops always role the vehicle onto to their alignment racks as well as scales when doing corner balancing. Just my theory! Thanks again for the vid.
I think the tare function would also be very useful if you planned on using these for a trailer. You could roll your trailer on, tare it then load all your stuff. Gaurentted to never overload your trailer now.

Well informative. On a side note do you know where one can get a 987.1 Cayman service manual?
Offhand, no. However, there are several online sources that I believe basically replicate the manual, e.g. eautorepair.net
