Is this with you sitting in it?

Corner weights should be set with the driver in situ.

I would say that is near spot on. I would just get the front wheels the same weight each side.

Here is a picture of my car on the scales at AB performance with me in it.

It's not possible to alter the front/rear % or the left/right % without physically moving or adding mass. Corner weighting only allows you to alter the cross weighting.

The weights should be set with drive in seat --- ie normal loaded condition.


Setting the front weights equal is ok for Formula type single seater but not ideal for a sports car.

The front rear weight distribution should be worked out and the left-right distribution then target weights worked out for each wheel.
