What setup you all found best for garage and track alignment and checking? camber and toe? Longacre etc etc strings lasers bolton magnetic etc or make it yourself ?

Thanks !
 
Toe plates and a camber gauge of some sort will get you 95% there. I have a longacre camber gauge (like a large triangle) but the small magnetics look much handier - I'm going to get some to try. Many use string but I have not had good luck with that. Toe plates are faster and more consistent for me.

Get your car initially setup on a proper alignment machine, validate those settings with your garage tools, then work from that baseline.
