I use a steel rule and a digital inclinometer bought off Ebay for camber, and the traditonal 'stringing' method for toe-in. Camber wedges were fitted already when I bought my 2B but I found I needed to make thin shims to get things spot on. A small change at the hub makes a big change at the periphery of the tyre IIRC 0.75mm moved the front of tyre out by 10mm.

The SP suspension has no flexible bushes, which is why toe in /out is required on other setups, to

allow for the flex.

I found the best setting when I had SP was parallel toe-in/out with fairly stiff shocker settings on the rear.

I had continual understeer at high speed, which I never got rid of.

Its almost impossible to change camber or caster on the SP setup, unless you re-drill the top mounting holees in the upper "fixed wishbone"

Thee metro rack is already pretty high ratio.
