Message If you have 2 people you will have it considerably easier than I did.....to set to toe you can place a straight edge across the front of the wheels(piece of 2x4 works great) and it has to be bigger than the wheels as to over hang it. Then you can run a tape measure from the same points on the 2x4 on that overhang the front and back of the wheel to the same points on the opposite side of the car. The idea here is to make the number you get from the back of the wheel the same as the number on the front of the wheel. Camber is a little more tricky to get accurate, but for the purpose of test driving you can eyeball it so it is set so the wheel looks vertical. If you want you can do what i did and use that straight edge again but orient up and down and use either a level or in my case, the level app on my iphone to adjust as needed to zero it out. I had it easy because i was on a lift and could go up an down at will to load the suspension but it can be done with jacks.
