Setting corner weights
What is the best way to set corner weights.
I have borrowed a digital set from work to hopefully get mine spot on.
I know you need the diagonals to be the same, but where would I start the adjustments after the first read, would you adjust the rear or the front.
And what is the best ride height for a BEC Indy.
Thanks
Brad.

Spread sheet then fill in the initial weight on each wheel.
From that:
Find total Weight
Find total Right
Find total Left
Find total Front
Find Total rear
Work out percentage weight distribution Front - Rear
Work out percentage weight distribution Left - Right
You can then work out the target weight for each wheel.
IE
Target for Left front = %front x % left x total weight.
Target for Right front = %front x % right x total weight.
Target for Left Rear = %rear x % left x total weight.
Target for Right Rear = %rear x % right x total weight.

As BT says but check ride height first. Then when adjusting, take into account the effect on ride height as well when deciding which of the diagonal
springs to adjust.
Don't forget to include driver and decide whether to include a passenger and how much fuel (I went for no passenger and 1/2 tank fuel).

Or go to my website below. Explanations of both systems and links to spreadsheets all there.
Cheers!
