thanks guys, was just getting ready to chime in. I try and re-post them on Facebook from time to time, but if you scroll back you should find everything.
I try and post some fairly relevant racing news on my Facebook page also.
btw, I don't think you have to be a member or log in to Facebook to see business/fan pages.....

No one has mentioned Smart Camber & Smart Strings. That's what I use. I just use alum sheet stock to level the floor side to side. Front/back does not matter unless you are corner weighting, which I skip, I prefer to set ride height & leave the adjusters alone after that.

If your garage floor is like mine with little dips and swirls in the surface you have to use some sort of leveling plates to get the car level. I use a 6 ft level sitting on two equal size half inch drive sockets to determine how much I need to level the car and then use cheap 1/8 in thick floor tiles to bring the spots level. I have at least one tile under each wheel which also makes it easier to turn the wheels when I am doing a caster adjustment. I don't worry about front to back level only side to side.
