I am 100% on board with this statement. I don't feel this "8lb pig" needs measurement to the exact .000001th degree, but I am all about getting SOME kind of measurement on chamber, toe in, and suspension because i do plan to race this summer and these things are important to handling and could mean your race over the next guys (depending on your driving)

3 tools I'm highly interested in:

chamber measurement tool
Toe in measurement tool
shock compression / height / w.e. tool to ensure the shocks are correct.

I've looked around the web and stuff, but I'm not sure how to such this stuff out. Anyone have any links possibly, or does this stuff not exist? LOL...

Oh, and bill & I were talking about foams for the tires, but I never really did get an answer... but I'm curious.. you guys running with foams in your tires?
