Sealey or gunson camber gauge

Hi guys at the point of needing to get some suspension settings sorted are the mag mount camber gauges from sealey or gunson any good or accurate enough?

The magnetic type that are supposed to clamp to the brake disc are pretty useless you have to be able measure the camber with the car sitting on its' wheels in the normally loaded condition ---- much cheaper get a digital clinometer or digital spirit level off ebay. You can even use an ordinary spirit level with a bit of ingenuity and some trigonometry.

The small digital inclinometers are magnetic as well and will go on the rear face of the brake disk with the wheels on the ground.
