Well...the S2000 has a pretty big MR.
Sprung weight is like 550ish LB per corner.
So a small amount of weight goes a long way.
And yeah, the best way to corner weight and preload is with driver ballast.
But...these are race car problems. For a street car whose weights will vary depending on passenger and luggage load...or for casual track cars...just keeping it simple works.

Measuring is error prone. There is parallax. There is angle you hold the tape at. There is miscounting hash marks. There is squinting...
Counting turns has none of these faults. And precision is less important than consistency. 11.33333 turns aren't necessary. 11 will do fine. But getting exactly 11 on each side is what counting turns does that measuring is less likely to achieve.
