It's not about adjusting the car for the sake of achieving frequency balance, it's about adjusting the car to make it work on the track.
It IS all about adjusting it for the track. You wouldn't run a stiffer spring rate between the left and right would you? Say no! That would be an imbalance. You balance them left to right. You also effectively balance them front to rear if you do it correctly. I refer to it as the dynamic spring rate but the technical term is wheel rate. Not each track requires the same spring rate. Not each track requires the same dampening rate. Not each track requires the same tires. Not each track requires the same camber settings. Each track however will always be easiest to drive if those settings end up with a balanced car.
