Get one scales and 3 dummy scales. Drive the car onto the 4 items, measure. Drive off, swap the scales around, drive on. K.I.S.S

your car and scales need to be on a perfectly( or near to it) level surface. otherwise you will get incorect readings, theres no way around it period.
You can use adjustments for ride height to shift weight and you can also simply use dead weight (such as lead) to do the same. its all a balancing act.

with adjustable 944 spring plates you can do a lot.
the goal is to get your cross weights near 50%
