Get a good profile pic of your car, find the "template" thread here on EM, and download Paint.net free software for Windows. Then it's just a matter of overlaying the template onto your car's photo. Match the highest point on the roof line (point of greatest camber) with the highest point on the template image. Make sure the template shape's wheels are also level on the ground.

Good luck... post your efforts on a thread as you go and guys will help you.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
