How much weight can typically be transferred when corner balancing a car? Can you transfer 10 lbs from front to rear? 25 lbs? 50 lbs?

Sure.....but do you want to?

When you weigh the car, you'll find that one diagional total is greater than the other.
The car is "rocking" on that higher weight diagional.
Lowering one end or the other of that diagional will transfer the weight to the other diagional....hopefully both ends of the other diagional will have started out lighter than our "rocker" ends......you could also raise the lighter diagional to accomplish the same thing.

I didn't try to jack up (on the springs) both sides of the rear to put more weight on the fronts.......don't think it would do much....but I've been wrong before.

Don't forget ballast in the drivers seat.
