When adjusting the tweak of the chassis, I always start with the rear of the car for a minor adjustment (1/8th of a turn). I then check the level, IF it needs more adjustment, I next adjust the front shocks a minor amount. I keep alternating between the front and back until the cross-weighting is balanced. By adjusting the front and rear equally, the car will be less prone to having a low corner, thus keeping the chassis from dragging on the ground.

From time to time it is good to check the level on the tweak station to make sure that the level is still true, and that the level beam is still balanced. The lead dots that came in the package are to do just that. I flipped my balance bar over and put the lead on the bottom so that there was less chance of it getting ripped off.

good luck.
