without damaging the tires. The tires are so damn expensive that I HATE to F them up just cause I wanted to save money by installing the Camber kits myself. Kits look so easy to install.......

is there a cheap gauge or something that I can purchase and use to get close to the right specs?

Thanks

Check Summit Racing or JEGS. They both have magnetic camber gauges.

They may have cheaper ones then this. But this took like 30 sec to find.

Hope it helps

wel now that I know they exsist.......I have to way the $120 price against labor to install the kits.........then guess how much wear it could cause driving to get proper adjustments made by someone who knows what they are doing.

You could always buy the gauge and then rent it to other members, who are in the same situation as you.

Have them but a deposit or the full price, then refund them $XX.XX when it is returned in good shape.

20 miles is no big deal. I think it took close to 3k to burn through the front tire on my I30 after I dropped it and didn't have the camber adjusters installed.

I drove it hard and constantly chirped the tires, so 20 miles won't hurt your tires. Just don't go drift crazy.
