The rear heights are within a 1/16'' and the fronts are off 5/16'', higher on the left. Includes driver and fuel. The ride height discrepancy bothers me, but don't know what to do about it. It is mentioned in this post that closer weight is preferred in the front. Why is that as my assumption is that on this car most of the traction and all of the drive is controlled by the rear tires.

Braking, you want the front to be as even as possible for safety, if you give up a tad on acceleration it's a fair trade off, plus acceleration is often employed at least a bit while is the comer, this would throw the rear balance off any way, and Your lsd is also compensating
