Default Longacre Camber/Caster gauge

I am wondering if anyone here has used this (or one of its rebranded variants).

http://www.longacreracing.com/catalo...id=130&catid=5

I have two questions:

. How repeatable are its readings? I know it is accurate to 1/4 degrees.

. Do I meed the magnetic adapter? My wheels do not have a flat surface so the adapter would seem to be of not use to me. Will it screw on to an Integra's spindle?

TIA

works well, you might have to rid up some kind of adaptor to your car but i like it!

I've used one with the magnetic adapter. The measurements seem pretty repeatable so long as you are on level ground each time you check. At the least, the same unlevel ground each time you measure. Apart from that, no the magnetic adaptor does not fit on the Integra wheels. You can take a board that spans rim edge to rim edge, place that against the wheel, then put the gauge on that. Not the most accurate way of doing it, but the best I've figured out so far.

I take it that the unit itself (without adapter) does not screw directly on to the spindle nut?
