hi again
to answer some questions:
my seat is an UltraShield unit bolted directly to the floor, as far back as
possible. the full sized battery is in the trunk on the right side. i have an
AutoPower rollbar. no ballast, save for my rear end!
i did not weigh the car without me in it (the rules weigh the car with driver).
the front sway bar was connected. there is no rear bar.
i hope that helps.

Well. you got some issues there!!
Why the lr is so much less than the rr? Normally the drivers side will be
higher than the pass with driver in place. but the LF 100 lbs higher, and LR
25 # LIGHTER? #1 mistake made here is did the weights get taken with the sway
bar attatched? a preload on the bars will give you wonky weights every time.
you want to try and get the diagonals % as close to even Left-Right as possible
front to rear bias on a side is nowhere near as important as the diagonals,
Ideally you would have 25% on each wheel, but that almost never happens.
Unless you've deliberatly set up for a predominantly left hand turn track? I
cant explain the LF being so high, the LR being lower can be partially
explained by rear mounted Batt. However driver weight on the roadster is
primarily behind the balance point (look at where your butt sits) so you should
see a little less gain on the front as the drivers rear when you get in the car.
The difference in diagonal weight % will make the car turn in different from
left to right
