if it's a track-whore; then corner balancing is just using your tires fully. You can't corner weight a car unless it has adjustable spring perches (aka, coilovers)

On a clockwise track for example, you'd make more rights than you would lefts; so if you load up the right front a bit more than the left front, the amount of weight the laden tire sees during cornering would be less than if the front was perfectly balanced. This prevents you from overloading the front laden tire during cornering, and gives the tires a bit of a break; otherwise your laden front tire would wear out a lot faster than your unladen tire; it all depends on the nature of the circuit and whether or not you are willing to sacrifice the corners where you'll turn the other way.

edit: i realise i didn't answer question 1. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Fingers crossed I'm getting the car in a few weeks. So maybe in a few months, i can answer that question
