Default Got New Coil Overs, How do I set them up?

Just bought set of Tein Coil Overs and will install them this weekend. Installing them is the easy part, how do I set them up for proper weight distribution. I Plan to go to my local speed suspension shop that has the a scale at each wheel, but what should I be targeting as weight distribution.

Since the car has an inherrent understeer, should I move the weight more to the front? say 55 front /45 rear for autoX? Should I fix the understeer with tires and run a 50/50??? For drags, run more weight on the rear?

Secondly, what do you do to index, or baseline the setting? That is I plan to have an autoX setting, Drag setting and street setting. I was going to mark each setting on the shock with something , or take a measurment for each setting.

What have you folks who have coil overs done?

You can only do side to side by adjusting cross corners.
You can't do front to back changes.
If the shop has corner weight scales and really know suspension they will do their job right.
