MidnighTT is infamous around these parts
So how good is good enough? After I installed my PSS9s I went in for an alignment and CB. The scales said I was at 49.93% LF-RR / 50.07% RF-LR with my hulked up mass ( ) in the driver seat. The error was 6 pounds, and the tech advised against messing with it, so we didn't.

Do y'all agree?

BTW, the car weighed a porky 3591 w/driver. It has exactly zero lightening mods.

Corner balancing finishes the car for sure, however, your car might look like it's not level. That can be a concern for somebody that drives on the street only.

Protrac single-adjustable racing gas shocks, lower stiffer coilover springs,
2.8 deg negative camber in front, 2.5 in the rear, Complete Custom
light-weight 9.5x18 front wheels, 11x18 rears. Advan Neova tires, (Kumho
710s for ASP), S-Car-Go CF intake, Upsolute tune for the k16, Europipe II,
light weight flywheel and stage 3 Evo clutch, Evo DVs, Evo hoses, Evo
quickshift. ERC racing unleaded. Race-technology AX22 data collection.
Advanced corner-balancing to optimize cornering sameness left and right
(ie: LF/LR = RF/RR). PSM turned off unless there's standing water.
For autocross I think the k16 is actually better than k24 or any others
because of instant boost for those long 2-second straights. If I had a
$ponsor I'd upgrade to the PCCB brakes and GT3 seats.

Ditto all that's been said.
1.) install
2.) set desired ride height.....Porsche spec or yours
3.) set desired height front-rear, rake....Porsche spec or yours
4.) have adjustable DLs and CB
