I really doubt that you could do an effective job with only one scale. Your figures will be constantly moving every time you lift a different wheel onto the scale. I went to a local race setup specialist and with my weight in the driver's seat and a half tank of fuel, we were able to get within 1lb cross weight. The difference in car behaviour is remarkable.
