To sum up, I found it really hard to use, but once you manage to do it correctly, I think it will be best way too.
Well its the most accurate way to use. There is actually a really easy way to understand how it all works. If you add spring preload to the lf, you will increase the corner weight of the lf and the rr. But simply. If your left side weight isn't the same as the right side weight. (do the math) then you need to move ballast to get the correct values. and since its how the car will hit the track (assuming you made sure the tire diameters left and right are the same. you will have better on track performance.
