Default SmartCamber vs Longacre Camber/Caster tool
What are your recommendations?
Trying to figure out which tools is better. I often swap suspension components and would like to stop wasting $$ on wheel alignments. I lose my camber everytime I change springs or struts.
I will be using them on my 4 post lift, if that helps.
Regards.
Raj

Can't comment on the Longacre tool, but my SmartCamber gauge is great.

+1 Smartcamber. You'll need toe plates also.

1+ for the Smart camber, but go for Smart Racing strings instead of toe plates

I used a smart camber this weekend.....I liked it..... I use Longacre toe plates, which work pretty good...but the real string kit is WAY better...
