Have you got a better one than this? I did not see him make any reference to castor but perhaps that is an easy to figure variable?

Thats the one! I use a Craftsman digital level to measure camber and a LongAcre toe gauge. Before I had the toe gauge I used two straight edges and two measuring tapes. They worked just fine.

quick update: got the alignment done at FasTrac on friday, done to my specs (-1,-2 F/R camber, 0 toe front, 1/4"toe in rear, 5.5 deg caster) and went to the BSCC autocross on sunday and had a blast. The car handled better than ever, stayed planted and was much easier to throw around. Came in first place in the class. will post a video soon
