I got down to this:
-L-----R-
370 332
396 362
But I have trouble with the right front brake locking up. Could be unrelated...

As a percentage term, I managed to get mine spot on weight distribution with me in it. 50% diagonal to diagonal.

It freakin' hauls!
I'm ready for more power though. But it's got enough to scare me and the people around me.
Do you frequent the locostusa.com or the Locost_North_America yahoo group?
Git 'er dun!

I thought the aim was to get the diagonals he same or as close as? These sound a little way off (or are these the static weights without driver - if
so i hate you - too light!!!!)
I dont understand cormer weight setting - might need to read up (or just take local places offer to set up inc camber and toe in for approx £100
cash).

LF(370) + RR(362) = 732 lbs
RF(332) + LR(396) = 728 lbs
Diagonals are pretty darn close.
These are static weights WITH driver (LHD).
One philosophy is to get the diagonals at 50/50.
Another philosophy is to get left and right sides at 50/50.
I can't do side-to-side equal weights without some very weird ride heights, so it's diagonals for me.
