Sedan corner weights

I haven't seen this reported before. Data below according to the Nov/Dec issue of Speed Magazine. A couple things I noticed, the front weight difference left to right is the worst on the G. Also, the front to rear weight difference on the G seems worse than on the IS even though the Wt dist. percentage is reported the same - rounding error maybe. Sure be nice to have a corner weighted coilover.

2005 G35 Sedan 6MT
full tank, 180lb driver
Curb weight 3710
Wt dist. (w/driver) 53/47
LF 1030 RF952
LR 870 RR855


2006 Lexus IS 350
full tank, 180lb driver
Curb weight 3800
Wt dist. (w/driver) 53/47
1030 965
918 886


2006 BMW 330i
full tank, 180lb driver
Curb weight 3630
Wt dist. (w/driver) 50/50
930 884
914 906

Confused - isn't the point of cornerweighting to distribute the weight evenly? Doesn't seem to have that big of an impact. And still not nearly as even as the BMW.
