if you use the polaris weights you will not even get the sled to move, it will bind. You have to shorten the weights to get them to clear the spidar. its BS I think. I bought 2 strightline kits and had to grind on my own weights, it should have been in the instructions. Also you will need a small accurate gram scale so you dont get carried away. I was shocked at how off the polaris weights were, over a half a gram.
