Fit setup wheels and do corner weights by adding/removing preload from the light/heavy corners.
I do pretty much the same (except I do use the Hudy spikes, which does take a bit of tipping the chassis left and right to make sure it really is balanced).
And I don't use setup wheels as I like to corner-weight the car at the track regularly to detect any tweak picked up during runs, and its often too rushed at smaller meets to be taking the wheels on and off.
