I adjust Toe on my own.. and its as accurate as you can be with a tape measure. (It really depends on you).

I use a set of jack stands, some Fishing line and some weights. You make a box around the car, and then measure....

Theres a DIY about it some where around here.

^^ I can give you a base line.... but alignments are really dependant on how the rest of the car is setup...

Heres a bit of alignment theory and how it affects handling..

Start at -1.5F/-1 R, 0 toe all around, see what happens, adjust from there. There's no such thing as ideal you need to play.
