A friend came over with scales to help set up the car and we were wondering if there is a "formula" telling us what percent weight we want on driver side rear vs. passenger side rear. Our front to back percentage is 42.9 rear.

Thanks in advance

Typically the right side ends up a little heavier than the left.
Start out even, with fuel and driver and adjust more pre-load
to right side after track testing.

What type of rear suspension, with the driver in the
seat at race weight try to get about 20# extra on
the RR... does the car have a anti roll bar on it,
if so dis-connect it to make sure its not applying
load... then hook it back up when done (set it at
neutral)... the 20# is just a starting point it may
what more or less depending on how the car launches
