So, say I set my camber to 1*, verifying it's 1* by tapping the center brace and poking the steering a tiny bit left and right... when I put the wheels back on and set the car down, one side isn't quite 1*, more like 1.5*. I think that has to do with a bit of play in the front end (12R5.2).

Which do you go by?
I find that as well, but like most I check my wheels after every run and tweak my camber so that the tires wear even.
