Anytime your Left % age and Cross % age match, and are with in normal set-up numbers never tried it with real high left, your LF & RF will be same weight, to answer your question for most chassis 2006 and older say, for tracks running night races it's a very fast set-up when the left and cross match, which makes the LF & RF same weights, then take it one step more and look at the LF and RR individual weights keep them with in 2 to 5 lbs of each other with the RR being the lesser, this is especially true with rookie set-ups, that's not to say it does not work on newer chassis either I know of three local tracks where this set-up works very well.
This Info is all Dirt oval related.

When you dont know anything about the kart, the track, or the driver, this is a good place to start a setup from.

Its what I call a 3 wheeled balance setup. Essentially, you get the LF, the RF, and the RR tire all within app. 10 lbs or less of eachother.

This is a "balanced" setup, and is a very good, stable starting point to adjust from. It will get the kart around the track comfortably and consistently, then you can tune from there to achieve maximum potential.
