The string line is set the same distance on the front and rear bars (on smart strings or other kit), u measure left front hub to right front hub and move the bar until centered, then do the same for the rear. Offsets don't matter. I'm sure the are videos online. Very easy to make a homemade kit, save $300
the spc gauge with toe kit basically creates a string box. according to this ive basically got the front zero'd now so at least if i screw up a tire its on me now and not some dumb *** shop i payed money to.

Smart strings also creates the box, u still need to center the box around the car, that's why you measure off the hub and move the box as a unit. Once you buy the kit and use it once you'll be kicking yourself for wasting the money(just like I did). DIY is way cheaper. Spend some money on a quality camber gauge. Also if you have an open deck trailer, it's a perfect alignment rack, easy to level with the car on it, and then u don't have to try and reach under a lowered evo. Tip #423 Use plastic garbage bags under the tires so they slide easily when adjusting alignment.
Here I found a video of a pro using smart strings...
