Anyone know any accurate tools I can buy under 100 to measure my camber? I am planning on getting the firestone lifetime alignment and I will be getting coilovers soon. I don't want to pay everytime to get the front camber adjusted. I know how to do it myself. I just don't have tools to measure the camber and I'd like it to be as accurate as possible.

looks good

, I'd leave the alignment to the pros, but should only need a slight adjustment if you go a bit lower on coils, maybe the place you took it too wouldn't jack the price much.

In my area, there is not a single decent shop that adjusts both camber and toe for under 150. I don't want to pay that much for an alignment again so if i had a way to measure camber, I'd just get the firestone lifetime alignment plan and fool around with my suspension and keep getting alignments.

I'm only on eibachs, but as people go lower, how do they adjust camber and toe? do they just run a lot of camber?

They go back to the shop to have it re aligned. Or they set it to their ride height than get an alignment. You really should have just paid for the lifetime alignment especially since you know you'll be changing the suspension. Everything looks a lot better now.
