Recommend a camber gauge?
Discussion
I have a Clio 172 (phase 2) that I use for trackdays and sprints, and i'm looking for a way of measuring the camber on the front wheels.
The car is lowered slightly (25mm IIRC) on Eibach Pro springs, with standard shocks, I fitted adjustable camber bolts to the upper hole of the struts, to approximately 2 degrees.
This has evened out tyre wear slightly (saves scuffing the shoulders on track as much), although it is certainly twitchy under power, with more torque steer!
I have been into a couple of companies about checking and adjusting camber, with Renault wanting around £80 and the independant company wanting over £100!!!!! Rather than giving the company this money as a one off i'd rather spend this money on a tool myself, question is would I get the necessary accuracy?
I have noticed a few makes on the Demon Tweeks site, with the Dunlop one looking pretty good, plus at the bottom end of the scale we have this one - www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=134038&MAN=Sealey-Magnetic-Camber-Gauge
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers, Dave
