I use the b post method every time. As far as balancing, weirdly the rears seem more sensitive than the front. I always use a road force balance machine. Think I'm on my seventh or eighth set of rears, third set of fronts, and no issues jacking way high via the b post lift point

Yep, my bad. I checked mine and they are as you say. Even came in a nice storage case.

I gotta wonder about the the necessity of high speed balancing. Sure it'd be great, but since my rear tires have rotated on the rim about +/-2" that is gone.
This probably happens frequently and is just not noticed. I have started taking pictures of the tires mounted on the wheels right after installation to reference back and see if they rotate after driving.

Heres the location of the mid point inner jack points. I added some chopping board pads. if the car was stock in ride height Id say my long reach would get to them.
