well went to visit my buddy the zfdoc , bill boudreau and had him and his partner ck over my suspension over as well as get her aligned . they have a trick setup that starts by what they call xing the car to make sure it is straight and then they align it . it is the same set up that they use in nascar . the car is also balance by weight on each wheel .the cost is 200 but it is the best money I have ever spent. they also fixed some shock problems I had. so if you live in the phoenix area go to see them and you will love the results the same as I did .

"xing" the car isn't a new concept... most Hunter rigs do it now... they use the lazers to make sure the car is square and there isn't anything amiss with the frame alignment or the overall squareness of the suspension pickups.

I assume the NASCAR alignment is a road coarse setup? Otherwise, right turns could be a bitch!

yes I have coil overs. his set up ,he removes the wheels and then puts on the devices to do the alignment with weight pads attached to them . interesting setup.it took him a good 90 minutes to do it. and for what it is worth my car drives better than it ever has .might be best to contact them about all the particulars. for my monet I was very happy with the results

I have seen those rigs before. Much more precise in some respects...

For anyone reading this however many years into the future... the stock C4 suspension is not adjustable for corner weights. The OEM transverse leaf spring setup simply will not allow for any corner adjustments.

Now, if you convert over to coil over shocks, meaning the spring is a conventional coil, wrapped around the shock, will allow for such changes.
