Adjusting rear camber kit

I've had Skunk 2 coil overs on my car for about 2 years now. I also had a shop put in a sprint camber kit in. Now I want to adjust the height of my car and adjust the camber kit. What would be the best way of going to adjust it to make sure I have the right camber? adjust it. put the car back on ground and see how it looks? I haven't looked under the car to see what i'm dealing with yet. I also did a search and didn't come up with the answer for this.

unless you can do it with string, have an alignment shop do your alignment. Even if it looks good, it could still be off.

Buy a gauge, or take it to the shop. The gauge is only worth it if you're going to make adjustments repeatedly over time.
You can do it with a string and a ruler, but you're still subject to error.

... and you didn't search at all. Alignments are outlined in the Suspension forum.
