Agreed the corner weighting is very beneficial.
For a few years I had a tendency to spin the RR tire quite a bit on hard right turns. Finally decided to check my corner weights and the RR was comparatively very light. I cranked up the LF a bit to counteract the light RR and it helped alot, reducing wheelspin to only the tightest hard right turns.
This year I changed torsion bars & shocks (switched from 22/29 w/Bilsteins to 23/31 w/Konis), so I decided to finally do it right and balance it, plus apply some track-oriented alignment settings. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. First event this year the car was really hooked-up and performed better than ever. Never again will I mess with ride height without re-setting corner weights.
For street use, corner weights are not critical. For track use, it makes a boatload of difference.
