Measuring the change in spring length is what I did, not ride height.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is way off. I am consistently locking up the front left first and am wondering if it is weight bias related despite the spring measurements being equal.

I was just going to get some digital bathroom scales and build lever arms to scale the car weight to work with them. Might just buy some real scales though too.

Just a little trick for setting camber.

Take your baseline.
Jack up the car
Place camber gauge on wheel and zero it
Adjust wheel angle the difference between where it was and where you want it on the zero'd gauge.

Doing this is quick and easy to adjust camber and easily gets you within a tenth of your target.
