I do have "the" camber/caster kit, but I'm afraid to mess with it without measurement tools. It's such a balancing act between camber and caster, and difficult to tell where you are. (As you know, for max camber, I sacrifice some caster.) How do you do it?



It's not that much of a balancing act. I assume it's set for street and you're happy with it now. Mark the location by putting a sharpie line on the strut tower and the strut hat - maybe do two or three, and number them. That helps you make sure it's centered as well as rotated right. If the plates are adjusted symmetrically, it's easy to pick a track setting - just go halfway between max caster and max camber. Since it's a circle, that will give you most of the caster and most of the camber. This works well for me. I key off the dots stamped in the strut tower top. Also, you could make the adjustments easier with some sort of stop system. I have an idea for a cheap and easy one if you want.



I'm always up for new ideas--especially cheap and easy ones.
