I got fed up of having to goto the alignment shop to set camber. Lifetime alignment at my local Firestone will only do OEM spec alignment and I need more camber for track days.

ZERO the level to the garage floor before each measurement:

Subtract 90 degrees from the reading to get your camber (assuming negative camber):

Note that I have two legs on the top and one leg on the bottom. This combines the advantages of both the Tom Hoppe and sccagrr designs:
