the car already weighs 1410gms so reluctant to add more weight

so whats more important having a level chassis or the corners weighing the same?cheers guys
Most important is an even ride height. The fronts need to be the same and the rears need to be the same but front and rear can be different. then balance the car left to right by adding, removing, or shifting weight. very important to have an equal left right balance. front to rear is not as important. I only use scales to identify a chassis tweak. You will see severe differences in weights if the chassis is tweaked.
