If you have a camber gauge, you can can get a semi accurate reading by doing a backyard caster sweep (15* L and R from center, take a camber reading at each and then do some subtraction or addition and some mulitplication...google it as I can't recall off top of my head).
I would love to see if there could be a way to have Mustang caster/camber plates adapted to our cars...I should really look into it as it isn't complicated, and their options are great.

everything you said makes complete perfect sense and that is how i would modify my car if i was using it for grip racing
i understand how to maximize my car to perform but instead i'll use that knowledge to maximize my setup to look cool (there's a lot that goes into making a low car work too ya know lol)
drifting is like 75% looks and 25% driving

Understood...I guess I often forget the looks aspect/style of drifting, namely as I'm not really involved with that side of it. TO say it's not a motorsport may be a bit hard, as I'll be the first to admit that I don't have the balls to be throwing my car sideways near a wall at speed haha...it's a skill to say the least.
However even if I was a drifter, I think i'd get nerded out with the suspension stuff....in fact I love reading some of the articles (namely the MotoIQ ones) on how they setup the cars to work well...some neat stuff in there, that all forms of car guys can enjoy.
