Is it pretty safe to assume the cross weight differences won't be... let's say 3% when they are very very off? So, why do we use these figures? I hope I'm not confusing you (I think I'm confusing myself).
little confusing but I understand what you are asking,I can't really say adding double the weight would = .2%, not sure that it would since you are adding weight to the left side of the car which is going to add most of the weight to the front left and rear left which would still make the cross percent almost even.

Thank you for trying to explain the concept to me. I think I'd take the easy way out... going to a good corner balancing shop and let them worry about it.

Thanks again.

I've never worked with TCDesign. If TCDesign doesn't meet you need, you may want to give Genesis Engineering in Concord a try. They work with the Roger Kraus Racing and did a super job on mine. I had a review posted on the NorCal threads.
