Any tips for setting ride height?

Trips

Adjust the rears on a full tank.

The weight differences between the rears is due to the amount of gas in either side of the gas tank.

Once you have them even they will be off once the fuel runs down and sloshes around to favor once side or another due too the saddle back design of the tank.

Someone can correct me IF I'm wrong.

Im a big boy and can accept when Im wrong

Hmm I'll have to double check that. I think right now it's my FR corner being set to low causing my LR to be too high, as the rear are set even without a doubt but the fronts (overall length) may be a little different since it's hard to measure their total length on car. I'll give it another go.

Get the car corner balanced. Heights on all four corner will probably be different but will ride much better.

A corner balance would be the best bet. Each corner of the car has different weight on it. So each corner will have a different setting. Doing it yourself. A full tank of gas and patience. An adjustment one one corner will effect the opposite corner.

Adding this in case anyone comes across it moving forward so there are some baseline settings.
Keep in mind I primarily autocross my car so my setup is based around that. On the 18's it's pretty low.. I might have to bump it up some if I'm consistently scraping at events. I've ran similar alignments settings so I tried to get those close to what I had previously before installing the coilovers.

Measurements taken @ 33.3Psi, 285/30/18 (RE71) SQ'd.

Alignment

Front
Camber: -4.0
Caster: 8.7
Toe: 0.0

Rear
Camber: -2.7
Toe: 0.15

Heights (measured from wheel center to fender)

FL: 13.25"
FR: 13.25"

RL: 13.5"
RR: 13.5"

Note: My driver's side was substantially lower in my baseline measurement vs the right side, especially in the rear, before I installed the coilovers. I have several extra turns on the adjuster on that side to level it out.

Make sure that both left and right side are jacked up and both wheels are taken off. With one wheel on the ground there can be some preload on the opposite side and measurement will not be consistent.
I use measuring tape - make sure that spring lenght is the same and total length of the shock is the same.

It will always look and measure bit different on the ground. Unless you can find perfectly level slab of concrete car will appear as bit uneven.

I just installed M7 kit, no instructions provided. I got it even right away, issue was to get to desired right height as turning collars 5 mm could give very unexpected results-from nothing to ugly

For the rear-I set up ride height without shocks installed-actually put wheels on and put the car on the ground to see if OK. After that I adjusted shock body length to be about 5mm longer than shock mount bushing . No idea if this is the correct way, but rides great.
