Yeah - each side and each car is different. The minispares uprated adjustable bottom and tie bars are fine.

Longer track rod ends are adviseable, though if the camber is within the 'sensible' range then standard are 'OK'

TTFN,

CLICKY!

That's not a bad link to explain terms. Basically you are measuring the angle from vertical of an imaginary line from swivel joint to swivel joint. I'd make up a little jig that locates on the hub and then use a camber gauge/plumb line to measure.
