If your car is at factory ride hieght and you are not running 315s in the rear, just adjust the PHB to the same length as the factory part and bolt it in. Should get you pretty close.
I remember the thread about using the string and nuts to check to see if the rear end is centered. What it was saying is to use a string and weight to make a plumb. Tape the string to the fender and make sure the string is running down the center of the wheel, using the hub as the center point. The weight/nut must be positioned the same on each side to get a correct reading. You want the weight to be at exactly centered to the hub. Then you can measure the distance from the wheel hub to the weight, the distance should be the same on each side.
Here are some poor illustrations I made.
UMI makes to single adjustable PHBs, one is on car adjustable the other you have to remove to adjust.
