No. Your garage must have an electronic four wheel scale. Then, you sit behind the wheel (or put sand bags representing you behind the wheel), loosen your sway bars, and then adjust your coil overs to achieve a 50% cross-weight (right front plus left rear). Then you tighten up the sway bars. This is absolutely, positively the first step before you get any alignment done. This can take a little time because every adjustment that you make to one wheel will have an effect elsewhere as well. But it will make a huge difference.
