Default How do YOU measure camber??

OK!! I know it sounds like a dumb question, but sometimes when you get down to the details is when things get interesting.

I have observed there seems to be two main "schools" in camber-measuring:

a) You put the car on the ground RTR, press the chasis to the ground and let go. Then you measure camber.

b) You put your car on blocks (or starter box) so the wheels are hanging down lose, with full shock extension. Then you measure.

Obviously, these two measurementes might or might not be the same, depending on your buggy's desingn and setup, so....What method do you use and why??

Also,when we see the pro's setup sheets and they say "X" degrees of camber...witch of the two methods did they use to measure camber??
