I'd like to get a set of corner scales but have a hard time justifying paying over a grand like the average wired set goes for or over $1500 for a wireless set.
This setup is $699.00 from Speedway Motors.

The pads are rated for 1250 pounds each instead of the 1500 pounds most others are rated at, considering that the average car I mess with is under 2500 pounds it seems this would probably do everything I ask. But there's not a whole lot of good info out there on teh Googles.
Anybody here have any direct experience with them?

Those look pretty good, but I haven't had any experience with them. What's the return policy like?
No direct experience - but the speedway guys do have a pretty great customer service department so give them a call and ask what the return policy is.
You might be able to trial a set for the cost of return shipping.

I know a few guys who have them and they seem to be just fine but i've not put my cert postal scales side by side with them. With scales it more about repeatablity then pure acuracy. You are the built in calibration. stand on ech pad and see if you weight the same on each pad if you do with in 1/2 a pound your good to go.
I got away with postal scales cause dwarf cars are 1250 with driver so 400lbs per pad worked fine.
Last year I was shopping and opted for Rebco scales over ProForm I think they were $900 and included a storage case and they are rated 1500 lbs per corner.
They work well for me.
The Pro Forms had smaller pads too, if that's a concern for you.
Looking into these, now the Proforms are available, cordless, with ramps for $800 shipped, seems a great deal but would like feedback
Feedback on these was poor, badly made, plastic housings, and not calibrated

I will be sticking to Longacre, not worth the issues
