I have 7 MM under the Rear Ball studs.
Yeah, see if someone has a setup station, your more than likely off. If it was off consistently on all 4 corners, not a big deal. But when you are measuring off the wheel there are too many variables to get a correct measurement with the wheel probably not square and the tire that you rest the gauge on is far from precise. So your probably -1 / -1.8 / -0.7 / -1 or whatever.
I'd take off the 8mm mod and see how it feels then.

Quick update: no selfmade cva-pin broke today
whats in that awesome grease that can reduce the wearing so much? xD and i got some new tires, now i can concentrate on the setup again. With old tires i had too much grip in the rear and too less in front and now its the other way round. xD Maybe i'll start with the setup from another driver here who has always new tires and go from there.

Camber gauges are good enough for most though. But once you have used a station, you don't go back.

On the setup station deal.How many pros have you seen using one.To be honest most Ive seen setting up there cars use a shock oil bottle or something of that nature.As long as what ever your using is consistant it doesn't really matter.I've used rpm camber and toe guages for 10+ years and never had an issue.The most important thing is to know when you need more or less camber or toe and how it affects the handling of the car.
Exactly all the pros at my track just use bottles or something square and they eyeball it. They always beat us every time, there getting like 16.4 and my best is 18.3
We were talking about this at the track yesterday. They agree it's not as critical as some may think...
Yes it would be nice to have a neard station but not needed to win or have a dialed car

True, not needed to win. Especially pros, they could win with -.9 / -1.1 / -.7 / -1... maybe even throw in a 0 
Speaking of which, wouldn't a bottle be zero? Secret camber setting their not sharing on the setup sheets?
I have one from when I ran nitro TC, so I use it. Every one I have put on the station is off.
It is a chunk of change, I would not spend the $ on it either if I hadn't known the benefit from TC. Granted, it is a requirement for onroad to be competitive and offroad does not need anywhere near the precision, but I have it so why not.
