What's a string, caster and camber kit ?
The jack stand method works just fine. For me the issue was more that I hadn’t centered the rack correctly.

I ended up getting the string kit because it actually mounts on the car. It makes it easier to work with when I am adjusting and bringing the car up and down. I still would need to make minor adjustments but with the jack stands I would basically need to start over every time. Not to mention I used the jack stands to hold up the car safely while adjusting.

Here’s what I ended up getting.

Likewise for the camber gauge I have used a speed square and a length of steel with some machine screws and a wixey angle finder but I just decided to invest in purpose built products.
