initial camber check

Thanks to previous comments and this diy article, I cut an old level down to 23 inches, taped on a couple of spacers, and measured the camber on my civic this morning. A digital caliber would be more accurate than my ruler, but these measurements are probably quite close. This conversion chart was helpful converting mm to degrees.

driver front camber . . . . passenger front
+ .30 degrees . . . . . . . - .30 degrees

L back . . . . . . . . . . . . . R back
- 1.04 degrees . . . . . . - 1.49 degrees

I'm surprised the camber is not that much in the back but still want to reduce it as most of my driving is straight and not around curves. The exception is a couple of 90 degree curves going down a 7 percent grade, that I usually go around in 4th gear. I hope to check toe in the next couple of days.
