That will all depend on the track(s) you run, driver weight, what is comfortable for the driver, etc...
There are a few set up thoughts in the old threads. You will have to find what works best for you. znobody can tell you exactly how to set up your car. Yes, they can get you in the ball park. From there, you will have to tweak the set up to suit your track and driving style.

On most any oval track car you want as much left side weight as possible. On a Legends I would want as much rear weight as possible too. You will find the rules restrict how much you can do to achieve these ends. >:(
Corner weights will depend on springs primarily and the driver preferences and other factors after that. When you are talking corner weights you can't really talk about absolute weights, a percentage is how this is normally expressed. I've heard of running anywhere from 48% to 58% of cross weight; that is the percentage of the total car's weight that are on the LF and RR wheels added together. The greater percentage of cross weight (or wedge, it means the same thing) you run the tigher the car will be everything else being equal. You cannot change the front/rear percentages or left/right percentages by adjusting the springs, those are fixed by where the weight is located in the car. The only thing you can change by adjusting the springs, other than the ride height, is the cross weight.
