You should have weight in the seats roughly matching your target, ie for racing alone put roughly your weight in the driver's seat. If not racing, it's not very important unless something is seriously out of whack, and corner weighting is a way to find that out.

All you can really accomplish is to try and get 50/50 cross-weight, that is LF+RR = RF+LR, which should give you roughly equal max grip turning either direction. Of course to approach that you may wind up making too much compromise to stance/travel, or deciding to move/remove things in the car to improve, then lather/rinse/repeat.

The hard part with corner weighting is finding scales and a level place to set them. I have the scales but no place level, so for now my car remains a mystery.
