diy camber adjustment

the camber gauge im going to purchase
Do you guys think that this is the correct gauge to measure my camber. I have eibach sportlines and I got the bolt cambers for my front end. Im not going to get cambers for the rear for a while. I was going to use this gauge to adjust the front camber by adjusting the bolts. So what do you think? If that gauge is not correct can you guys suggest to me a good one. Thanks...

Thanks for the fast response. Can you explain why that one is not acceptable.

It is a perfectly acceptable tool to use in order to either: set the initial camber, then take it to an alignment shop to finish it up properly; or to find out how far it is off to order the correct set of alignment bolts.

For example, you use it to set the camber roughly. This will allow you to ride to the shop in a few days and get the alignment done by a laser, which is far more accurate. The tool can only get it close.

Or you may use it to find out if you need one pair of bolts (usually 1 degree off) or two pairs of bolts (2-3 degree off).

Now just realize that no hand held tool is enough to go against a laser machine that costs thousands of dollars. Plus lowering a car will have other items out, toe in, caster, and camber.
