Longacre caster/camber gauge

[Huskinhano]

The other day I was cruising ebay looking at them. I'm planning on doing some suspension work on my Mustang in the near future. I'd like to be able to do my own settings. While I've never done this beofre, I think I have a pretty good understanding on what I'm doing and why. Any way, I have to say the gauges are cheaper then I thought they'd be. The problem is that there seems to be quite a few models to pick from. I don't need a billet one with digital read out. A simple buble one would suffice but again, there seems to be several to choose from. I see hub mounted and ones with brackets that attached to the rims. They fit up to 18" but I'm not planning on 19" or 20" rims or even 17" or 18". Sticking with 15" rims.

So for the guys that use they gauges, what model would you recomend? I'm looking to buy next year.

Alignments was my specialty in High School shop class long ago. The only thing about the magnetic ones that mount on a steel wheel is that they wont stick to aluminum, thats the reason you might want to have the brackets. Thats about all I got.

Use them all the time. Work good and fast and easy to setup.

I've got one also. Very easy to use. Get the one with the brackets, its more versatile.

I'll jump on the bandwagon as well. Used one on the road race car, worked great.
