I recall you had a few responses in the linked thread. I also have the impression, after reading some of your past posts, that you know of which you speak, so I don't consider you to be a wise guy at all.
The essence of that discussion was equalization of the corner weights by weight jacking, as put forth by Randy Blayock. My fat little SC is weight jacked, and I also got a bit lucky. My stock sway bars were attached, thus introducing a measure of equalization to the side to side weighting. I also have a small battery (LF), A/C compressor (RR), no simulated drivers weight in the seat. It's a street car. My rear heights are around 24-1/2 both sides, rear, and around 24-3/4 and a bit under 25 in the front. I do not have the approximate 1/2 inch height difference F to R.
The jury is still out on the ride quality, as I am replacing the polygraphite bushings with Elephant Racing PolyBronze in the front. They really bind up badly, hence the replacement. I can say that I feel that there is a repeatability issue, which is why I'm going to have the balance done again. It was a PITA to balance with those front bushings. Enough such that there is a measure of doubt in my mind that the corner balance numbers will be the same.
I must also say that I am no expert at this stuff, but I am learning quickly.
