Anyone ever use the Smart Racing Strings or Camber System?

Opinions?

Matt, if you go this route & like the outcome, please let me know. I considered it.

They're on their way. So I'll let you know how I like the system.

The trick to a home alignment are:

• A level surface. If the car isn't level, you're wasting your time.
• A way to get under the car to adjust the rear settings. While the car is strung, that is.

Fred,

I thought I'd give you a little feed back.

I was playing around with the Smart Camber tool this weekend. I like it. I've tried measuring camber with a level and tape measure in the past on my 944. The Smart Camber is great because you can get repeatable results very easily (which I couldn't do in the other method). It's simple to use and you can set it up for the pavement that the car is on (so the car doesn't have to sit level). I guess you could use it at the track easily if you wanted to change your camber/castor settings.

It also showed me how much I f'd up my alignment by changing the torsion bars.

Fronts were fine at -1.0 deg. But the rear drivers side was like -0.8 and rear passenger side was -3.0. That's got to make for some funny handling characteristics.

I haven't tried out the Smart Strings yet. I'll update you when I do.

I'm going on vacation, so when I come back I plan to take a shot at the alignment.

Thanks Matt. Look forward to your input. Have a great vacation!
