Just put 400 at the back and 500 at the front.

That's all I did. No problem. It is so that the tester has something to set the brakes at. Which means that the brake efficiency is good enough for the weight of the car.

This isn't a problem in reality because of the lightness of the car and the originals were designed for one much heavier. I.E. Escort / Sierra / whatever.

Do what Vince suggests - my tester didn't agree with my values after the initial weigh-in, suggested better ones, and amended the paperwork. All I had to do was sign to make the changes official.

It's not a big deal as long as you're in the right ball-park.
