Having a 50/50 distribution from front to rear, right to left, and cross-ways is what you want, but you won't get that in a Cobra so you adjust your suspension to try and get the cross weights at 50% (or move stuff around, like the battery). Having a number other than 50% on your cross weight will result in your cornering being different depending on whether you're going left or right. In some circumstances you might want that, but most of the time you don't. BTW, to see a chart on all the weights and percentages for a dozen or so of the Cobras in the club go here and scroll down: http://www.capitalareacobraclub.com/...c,5722.45.html
