I got shown this way years ago to get the % front - % rear

Weigh front and rear (i propped the other end of the car so it was level,add together,then take the front weight and divide by the overall weight (move the decimal point 2) of the car and same with the rear and that gives you your % front to rear

For Example

Front weighs 686

Rear weighs 1040

Total 1726

686 / 17.26 = 39.74

1040 / 17.26 = 60.25

Round it out to the nearest number so this set up will be 60/40 weight distribution

Another Example

But this time,i have removed weight off the front which in turn has altered the rear aswell,

Front weighs 649

Rear weighs 1046

Total 1695

649 / 16.95 = 38.28

1046 / 16.95 = 61.71

Round it out to the nearest number so this set up will be 62/38 weight distribution

This is the way i have been shown,Please correct me if i am wrong

Cheers
