I am no expert, but this is what they were doing on my car.
You put the car on scales (all four wheels) disconnect the sway bars and adjust with the coilover heights and preloads. The weights are measured diagonally rr to lf, lr to rf, etc and side to side. they also had it hooked up to their alignment equipment at the same time. Then they re-hooked up the swaybars to see if they were even, They were not, so they massaged that and set them. They were at it for quite a while, like an hour and a half or so.
The alignment was set to Olthoff's recommendations

One thing is for sure, no one should just mess around with coilovers without the right tools and knowhow. Just "eyeballing" just does not work
