To be honest, the reason why I wanted to tinker around wit it was due to the fact that the front end grip on the street was downright terrible. The front end would feel like it was floating, and while I got pretty decent grip/balance going around high speed corners, the car had practically no front grip going around roundabouts, and I suspect it had something to do with the rear settling in a couple of mm (I had it corner weighted just after I installed the coilovers)
In the end, I tried raising the rear by 5mm, but while corner entry understeer was lessened, it was still pretty bad. Raising the rear by 10 mm made the car understeer badly, and in the end, I had the rear raised by 5mm, and the front dropped by 10mm to 13.75" from the hub centre to the arch. This setting has pretty much improved overall grip and I feel more confident going through corners now, where in the past I had to be cautious since I had much less feel for the front end.
The local shop here charged around USD600 just to get my car on the flat patch and told me that cross-corner weights were 49.3%. I am seriously considering investing in a set of corner weight scales and start learning to do this myself...
