If you're adjusting a single corner at a time and then remeasuring, in case you're not already doing this I STRONGLY recommend you:
- disconnect both sway bars
- drive a quarter mile or so (or a couple laps in the neighborhood) after each change
- measure while parked in the same spot, preferably on flat ground with no incline

Maybe I'm lucky, but on my T2s I simply counted the number of threads on the shock collar from bottom until the spring perch and matched them left/right; ended up with a very equal drop left to right. As far as ride height goes I only care about front vs rear, if I want to make a change on one axle then I turn the spring collar the same number of turns left/right.

Also note that getting ride height equal left/right does not necessarily mean your corner weights will be equal left/right. It's definitely important to fix gross imbalances, but if it's a couple mm I wouldn't worry.
