Aligning camber
Just squatted down another inch or so with sportlines. Can I adjust my camber myself with a little math?
Can I drop a weighted string from each fender and measure down to where it hits the rim, then measure at the top of each rim to the string and basically draw a triangle then do some math and calculate the angle of the rim thus the camber angle?

Yeah that's what I was thinking about doing. It seems the eibach sportlines really tweak the camber because they are so low. I just wanted to make sure my thinking about how to measure it was correct so I can verify they are both close to each other.
YES you can use math to do that...that is how I do my own camber alignment!!!
Be on a level surface (floor), use the string, measure the same points on each rim, the distance to the string, and the distance between the points on the rim, and simple geometry to calculate the angle.
The "spec" is 0 to -1.5*. I try to get around -0.7* to 0.8*.
Don't forget that you might have to adjust your toe as well, which can be used using long strings as well
