To get the most out of them, you would need to find a tuning shop with corner scales, probably something like a shop specializing in race cars, so it can be set up for proper balance on the track. That can be an expensive process as it takes alot of trial and error to get it right.

But if the car is mostly a DD, then corner weighting probably isn't necessary, and you should just set them to a height that you like, where it looks even all around, and then leave it there and get the car aligned.

Keep in mind that an alignment is required any time the ride height is changed.
