Has anyone corner balanced their G?

I am curious if anyone can share their experience, or more specifically, their ride height measurements.
Being relatively equal, I figure if we know ride heights, those with coilovers could adjust accordingly and get damn near corner balanced without the process?

Thank you in advance for any input.

I'd like to know as well since I'll be taking apart the G soon to get it ready for next season.

Here's why I don't really recommend using scales to corner balance. That just gives you tire balance without taking into account the weight transfer when ACTUALLY IN USE.

It's far more effective to just road test the car with something to measure g-force and skid the car to see if there's a L/R difference. Have someone else slo-mo record your launch (for drag) or cornering (for auto-X) so you can WATCH the weight transfer. That will tell you far more than a scale ever will and is a heck of a lot cheaper.

If the car rolls too much tighten up sway, if it rolls to fast tighten up the shocks, if the weight transfer on launch hops the tires then tighten the rear, if there's not enough grip and you spin the loosen the front, if it's understeering/oversteering have someone record a frontal shot to watch what your camber is doing into a corner.

Actually watching what the car is doing, especially with someone using their phone to slo-mo record you, is a fantastic tool.
