Speedsters have 60-70 percent rear weight bias. Corner balancing cannot change this. Corner balancing is to balance the car left-to-right, both front and rear. Also to balance it diagonally.

You can only do this on a Speedster from the rear, if you have adjustable spring plates.

The front of a 911 IS adjustable due to the individual torsion adjusters up front, the Speedster beam is not independently adjustable.

I balanced my Spyder with scales and adjusting the rear coil springs, you can do the same with adjustable spring plates.

Many alignment shops offer corner balancing.  The VW hill climb guys have used corner balancing for decades.  A quality shop will load the left front with simulated driver's weight.  However, corner balancing, to my knowledge, is concerned with trying to balance LF and RR with RF and LR, i.e., transverse calculations, not so much front/rear ratios.   Front/rear ratios can be improved by moving heavy items, which is not very effective in our replicas.  Some owners add weight to the bottom of the front axle to keep center of gravity as low as possible.  Best of luck!
