Indeed. Exactly. Measuring cornerweights with a fixed suspension will create nonsensical results. If its out by even 0.05mm the readings will be false. It doesn't matter where you put the electrics.

You can use 4 scales but you have to understand exactly what you are doing before attempting to make sense of the readings. Certainly I would not use them to attain primary left-right balance. I find this very difficult to explain in simple terms. Hopefully someone will chime in and help.
