Default Camber Gauge?

Due to recent premature inside tyre wear, Im after setting to a less aggressive camber for road allowing me to alter for track accurately. I am aware of you being able to set manually via top mount readings, but does not offer a guaranteed accurate adjustment IMO.

Question?: Does anyone use one and can recommend one. Seeing many on the market from £30-£200+, manual-Digital. Are they worth their buck?

Digital ones will be more accurate but the cheaper ones do the job just as well. Best way is to mark up the top mounts to the levels you want but as you say its not 100% accurate. Remember when you do it to make sure its on level ground and also role the car forward and back before you measure so its right. DT's sell them I think.

KK what adjustable top mounts do you have?

if they are marked accurately then adjustment should be ok, BUT some topm mounts also allow movement in other dierection and you have to keep the movement you make in one direction (ie not allowing the mount to go towards the front/rear of the car)

TMS Simpson Top mounts. But will be going to Nitrons in the next month, so wanted to check a suitable way of changing the camber. At the moment I am hesitant to move them without a gauge.
