Here's what I have right now:
.............front 1103 (48%)...............
LF 568 .......................................RF 535
Left 1150...............................Right 1144
LR 583.......................................RR 609
............rear 1191 (52%).................
Cross LR to RF 1117 (48.7%)
My novice interpretation is that the LR and RF need to take a little more weight (tighten the spring)
Anyone concur or disagree?

Yep, I'd crank up the LR since it is usually low due to driver weight. Are these w/ or w/o driver in car.

Without driver, with a full tank of gas.

And after I adjusted:

Left 1150...............................Right 1144

Good enough? I added the results in red

Very good, but best is with the driver in the car. My 2 cents.

OG, Something is up with your suspension. If you gained weight to 49.9% LR to RF the opposing corners should have dropped. You have some bind somewhere. I would start with the lower front control arms. If by chance you forgot to grease the front bushings before sliding in the sleeve your bind is most likely there. If the suspension isn't "free", your just wasting time corner weighting it. The totel weight of the car should remain constant throughout the measuring process, one goes up, one goes down.
The numbers posted don't add up..
I show:
LR + RF = 1155
RR + LF = 1151
Front = 1115
Rear = 1191
Left = 1150
Right = 1156
But I think you're still close enough.. Good job!
