In theory, would it be possible to corner weight my car using only the front two springs?

The reason I ask is because the ride height in my Alfa's front suspension is adjustable via the torsion bar settings. I thought that raising, lowering, or just adjusting the front two springs might be enough to "get me in the ballpark", but had no practical experience with such things.

Thanks!

It will change corner weights, yes. Putting more pressure on one corner will also add pressure to the opposite corner.

BUT, if you only have half as many corners to adjust, you can only screw it up half as badly.

Actually, yes. Obviously it won't be ideal, but as long as the rear springs are in pretty good shape (equal height/rate/etc) you should be able to get pretty close.

Remember to disconnect the sway bar on one end.
