Just saw this got updated. It's awesome! My only note would be that camber settings seem to be inverted. Negative camber should angle the top of the wheel towards the car.

You're correct.

Also, inputting camber only changes the picture, not the DTF* (distance to flush).

* DTF is a DarrenDriven recognised measurement.

Everything seems to be working properly but I believe your initial offset is off. At stock ride height with stock wheels (17x7 +48) the front should be 23mm from flush and the rear should be 30mm from flush. Or at least according to this anyways:http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7535

Excellent. Thanks. I did quickly Google this and may have mixed up the diagram I was reversing this off. I have inverted this.

I won't be adding in offset from flush WITH camber, as I can't see the benefit for the amount of work involved. I would rather devote time to strut clearance.

Very cool this will be so useful, thank you for your time spent developing it. How did you come up with the movement of the fender relative to the wheel while lowering?

Based solely on the calculations I've seen on this site, particularly this:

================================================== =
WHEN LOWERED 1" YOU WILL NEED TO REDUCE THE FRONT OFFSET
BY 2MM AND THE REAR OFFSET BY 5MM FOR PERFECT FLUSHNESS
================================================== =

Looking great!

Now.. anyway you can highlight what the factory spec camber is?

I don't know what those numbers should be.

The clearance from flush looks off... an 18x9.5 +38 from photos of cars with them fitted looks like it pokes a little, in your tool they look to still be inside the fender (at 0 camber)

The latest version fixes all of these complaints and is infinitely more useful.
