anyone here have a set of scales? weighed your B5 A4?

[JK35]

Hello all!
I've begun my descent into the brake and suspension phase of my build, although I do not yet have a set of scales.

Have any of you corner weighed your B5 A4?

I've run into a situation where I HAVE to replace my brakes, but am not yet equipped to execute the brake system installation all at once...

I am hoping to find approximate piston sizes for the calipers, so I can at least have my car operable again.



Anyone know the weight balance of these cars?
or especially if you've corner weighed yours... -at least that info would get me in the right ballpark, I think...


I have decided to go with a Tilton style pedal assembly with dual master cylinders and balance bar. a third master cylinder for the clutch would need to be used, but I am uncertain where to begin -in terms of bore size.

If anyone could provide any info on the hydraulic clutch system, I would appreciate that as well...


thanks,
Kyle

The final numbers were about 55.5/44.5 f/r and 50.5% cross. The cross was around 49.5% with just me in it.

The balance was done it full daily driver mode. In addition to the full interior that included the roof rack (50 pounds?), the UUC steel lower brace (50 pounds?), spare tire, and more than 3/4 tank of gas. Wheels were 23 pounds each. Pulling the rack, spare, and rear seats too 15 minutes and dropped over a hundred pounds.
