Default camber gauge

I've been looking into camber gauges, but I cannot find a magnetic adapter to fit.

Any recommendations on gauges and adapters

our race team uses the Advanced Racing Technology "Smart Camber Tool" and it works great.

I saw these on a prototype car at the National GP last year. I assume you would lower the car with these on, and measure the distance between the top edges. Not sure who makes them, though.

Thanks.

The Smart Camber is pricey $195

Although is cheaper than what Frey racing wants for one $255

I wouldn't be able to use the other ones, don't think it clears to make a measurement.

Interested in something like the Smart Camber or the gauges made by Longacre and Quick Race, the problem is they don't make magnetic or screw in adapter for the integras or imports at all.


What is more precise a bubble gauge or a digital gauge?
I think a bubble gauge. Not saying anything just curious, I don't need to be that precise.

the digital guage is usually more accurate since you can calibrate it.
i'm not sure what you mean by magnetic adapters -- the smart camber gauge takes the measurement with the wheel on. you just adjust the little set screws and then hold the guage against the rim -- really easy...

lol, I'm such a dumbass. I never even thought about how it would work on a regular street car.

Maybe if we can figure out a way to remove the front bodywork...
