This process is incredibly accurate. Its more accurate than any bubble level tweak station.

Caster - An RPM camber gauge and your eyeball.

Toe In - A caliper...measure your inside tire width at the rear and at the front. You want them parallel or .5mm narrower at the rear for a little toe out.

Thats it. Nothing anyone has made to date is more accurate than the above tools.

Adrian, can you also use this method to find toe? http://www.rc411.com/pages/howto.php?howto=21&page=2
