Default Questions about ride height, corner balancing and alignment

So I have been on vacation this week trying to get the Cobra optimized. The week before I installed R/T ball joints and R/T rear shock mounts. I adjusted the ride height according to SCOF guest tech article 22.5" from fender to bottom of rim lip at the front and 22.44" at the rear. I rolled the car back in forth in the garage with each adjustment. Then car was loaded and taken to Enterprise, Alabama for dyno tune, corner balance and alignment. After all was done I measured the ride height and the car apparently needed more than rolling back and forth to settle as my ride heights had dropped another 1/4". After the corner balance the dimensions from fender to bottom lip of rim reads as follows. I also measured my coil over bolt centerlines and they seem to be way off of recommendations. Note, only the LF coil over was adjusted to corner balance the car:

LF 22" fender to bottom lip of rim (SCOF 22.5")
11.125" Shock bolt centers (SCOF 11.87")
RF 22.25" fender to bottom lip of rim (SCOF 22.5")
11.57" Shock bolt centers (SCOF 11.87")
LR 22.25" fender to bottom lip of rim (SCOF 22.44")
13.125" Shock bolt centers (SCOF 12.79")
RR 22" fender to bottom lip of rim (SCOF 22.44")
13.5" Shock bolt centers (SCOF 12.79")

Notice how the fender to bottom lip of rim are similar in the diagonal direction.

What are your guys thoughts? Will I need to do an alignment should I adjust the ride height and have car corner balance again?
