How much rake? Weight distribution question

Subscribing for same concerns.

On my 350 I guestimated and tuned w track feeling. I start by lowering the driver front corner 1/4" and driver back 1/8" to shift drivers weight to the right and back. The front will be about 1/2" lower than back to shift weight back (need oversteer). I am planning KW V3s so min drop is 0.8" in front.

Therefore, drop from stock: LF 1.05, RF 0.8, LR 0.425, RR 0.3
Of course, if you want more drop just add constant to all four.

I will align to this set-up and iterate a few times. Then leave it, drive it and tune w shocks and sways for tire wear and track conditions.

I am still researching to get these numbers closer to start with for this car.
