The most important number is diagonal balance according to what I have read and felt from the seat. You can't move weight from left to right or visa versa or you can't move weight front to back and visa versa with spring adjustments on the scales. You can adjust the diagonal balance with the spring adjustments. That is why I just don't believe a stock or even mostly stock cobra from any manufacturer with a driver in the seat is going to be 50/50. I have the scales and I have played with this stuff for days at a time. In the end, the best I could do was 50/50 diagonal weight distribution and 48/52 front to back. By the way, my GT40 was a seriously race prepped car and it was 49/51 front to back.
