Default Corner Weight Distribution

I am going to be corner weighting my car this weekend. What is the optimum weight distribution I should be trying to reach?

Anybody that has done this have any pointers or tips they can share?

The guy about 5 miles down does alignment, camber, caster and corner weighing. Costs me $75'ish for a 4 hour job. He has the special corner weighing scales, laser toe, and camber gauges.

If it's more than $100 you're getting ripped off.

Less than $100? That sucks for them, corner weighting takes a few hours....
