Suspension Setup

[Cupman29]

Do you think this piece of kit would allow a DIY'er to make suspension geometery chnages accurately:

After you've paid for a couple of set ups this thing might pay for itself.

Any thoughts?

Good bit of kit if you know how to use it. The design is about 1 millions years old and has hardly changed.

I use those along with a magnetic camber gauge

I'm just thinking I got charged £120 bangers for my suspension set up but will be continually changing it when my driving gets better on track and also for different setups on different tracks.

Are they quite easy to use. I am an engineer anyway so am quite use to using measuring equipment and working with precision equipment.

Cheers for the reply guys! :approve:

easy enough, but then I've used them for about 13 years now. Just need to make sure the floor is as flat as it reasonably can be, then you're just adjusting the track rods to adjust toe

Are they only for toe. I thought they did measurement for caster and camber? Oops

All I have is the drive which I made with a 1% fall. Will this be enough to screw it up?

It says it can measure it all i thought they only did toe.
