I give him props for doing all that work. I have a caster/camber gauge though.

i am doing the same thing for the toe measurement at home.

havn't done any camber adjustment since i have no camber kits but it was good to know! great info!

He said in the video that his method for checking toe will not work if your track width is not the same in the front and the rear. Well almost all FWD Hondas have a narrower track in the rear than in the front. The S2000 has nearly a 1.5" wider rear track than the front.

So you COULD use that method for checking toe, if your car is square, but you would have to do additional calculations to set up the string correctly. You would have to take the difference in track width, divide that by 2, and add that to your measurement from wheel center to the string at the axle with the narrower track.

Or if you could somehow find the exact centerline of your car, you could just measure off of that.

His technique for finding the level ground using water is pretty neat.

longacre toe plates and craftsman digital level with laser pointer is all you need.

you can align the front and rear thrust with this too. doesnt matter if the front or rear track is different width. as long as the car is square (no frame damage, or pushed in suspension). put a measureing stick to the front hub, point the laser level from the rear wheel and measure how far it is pointed from the front hub. compare both sides and it should be equal.

measure total toe with the longacre toe plates. and take it for a test drive.

camber is measured with the digital level too.

The leveling technique is worth those videos IMHO if nothing else, since you need the car to be level in order to get accurate readings.

i havent had time to sit and watch those vids in entirety, but with a laser level, how hard is it to figure out? you can get them for $30 at sears.

I'll stick to my hunter lazer alignment rack

nonsense

Do you tow it to the track with you?

sure. But a laser level and a measuring stick is a lot simpler...

beanbag

and less accurate...

raidacaipo

his method of finding the toe isn't accurate. You need to find the center line of your vehicle in order to measure the toe angles accurately. Measuring the center wheel hubs wont work.
