camber measurement
i was looking under my car the other day and noticed that the inside of my tires are worn. my car is lowered w/ h&r springs and has a very slight camber. before getting a camber kit and all that fun stuff i wwas wondering if there ws a way to measuer the camber by myself. and when i get the kit what kind is suitable, can i put it on myself or should i let a pro do all of it

Re: camber measurement
Look it up. There are a lot of ghetto ways to do it.

On a note, that camber may be slight when the car is sitting still, but when its bouncing due to road conditions, it amplifies the camber.
Suspension is extremely tricky to setup but will be one of the best things you can learn. A lot of people don't understand this, but there is almost no way to lower a stock car without altering the geometry of the suspension. The only way I know of is to get lowering spindles. I sincerely wish I could go over with you on setting up suspension going over camber, caster, toe in/out, rebound, jounce, etc.. but theres just too much to it. I found this, its a very basic starting guide. http://www.advancedracing.com/chassissetup.php Another place to start: http://www.billzilla.org/suspensn.htm I picked these two off of google to give you some of the basics. There are some suspension programs out there. Your best bet is to get some books on it. Having power is nothing without having the handling to control it.
