Has anyone here used these and is it worth the investment? If I order one I get a $600 discount.

I have not used their product, but I put together a DIY version of it using ball bearing assemblies and steel plates. I used it to set up my rear suspension this spring and it was a dismal failure. The problem I found was that the OEM GT350 rear suspension is so bound up by bushings that if you adjust it to get the exact toe and camber you need, as soon as you drive it, the bushings relax and you've massively overshot your goals. It was a complete fiasco. The front end is better but the rear end is a complex web of parts held together by rubber bushings, and when you adjust the adjusters, nothing moves - the bushing soak up the movement and the indicators and measuring tools say nothing has changed. By the time it does move, you've put so much adjustment in that it's way off after a test drive.Has anyone here used these and is it worth the investment? If I order one I get a $600 discount.

So, unless you're replacing all the bushings with spherical bearings, I fear it will be a crashing disappointment.
The hub stand tools would be great for the front end, but the rear end is a challenge.oh man, sounds like a real PITA, maybe I’ll do more research on the rear before I invest in that tool. Thanks again for sharing your info.
