Mando I am certainly a learner on this but the Corner Weighting link (p. 1) above is a very good one and makes the point, " If you don't want to change your ride height then a more balanced approach would be appropriate such as making small adjustments to all 4 wheels--add preload to LF and RR (extend coil over), remove preload to RF and LR (shorten the coil over)". (Note, the examples given are for a left hand drive car)

I also think that although your ride heights may be equal when you are not in the car they are almost certainly not equal when you are in the car. Thus the suggestion of using a few 20kg weights in the drivers seat is a good one as you can measure ride height and corner weight while out of the car.
