The front and rear have different amount of treads. Right now, I have the coilover out, and would like to set them as accurate as possible before installing them. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

Don't know about the amount of drop, I set the perches to about the middle of the threads front and back and I have about 1 finger gap all around with 225/40/18s.

Wouldn't corner balancing until a desired weight distribution was matched be better? 50-50..

Corner weighing won't change front to rear balance

The just matches diagnal distribution.

Diagonally from *front to rear*. So yes, corner balancing the car WILL change the front to rear balance.
