I haven't had the chance yet to have mine weighed on corner scales (a guy
in our club has the scale setup, and usually brings them out once a year
...... but my Crown car wasn't running at last years event). Maybe this year.
BUT, I thought I had read where the Crown setups were something like a
41%/59% distribution, and what do the Crown cars weigh? Something like 2900
lbs? That would put the front at around 1200 lbs. I think (?) that another
factor is when hitting the brakes, how much weight is put on the front
end....
Anyway, I run the Clarks V8 springs, with 1 coil cut.
