Best ballast material when setting corner weights

I'm looking for the best material to use to simulate the driver's weight when setting corner weights and ride heights. Lead is toxic but easily available. Is there a better material, heavier, less toxic than lead but still affordable.

Thanks in advance.

Put a 100 pound bag of dog food in the drivers seat. Or two if you need it. Return unopened bags after cornerweight session. Tell them the dog died.

At a couple of dollars (or pounds) per 50 pound bag, it's a reasonable option, but I'd recommend putting the bags of sand into a plastic bag before you put them in your car. Bags of sand tend to leak.

 

The NASCAR CUP guys use Tungsten in the frame rails. I picked up a chunk at a shop and it is remarkably heavy for any given size. <font color="blue"> </font>
