For those who do their own alignments:
What equipment do you use to set toe? How accurate? Cost? I'm looking for quality tools here, so no home-brewed devices please. |

Toe is easy to very accurately. I use stuff made by Longacre (the roundy-round race car supplier.) For toe setting all you need is a floor jack the tire "scribe" (marking the tire eliminates runout error from tire sidewalls and whell imperfections) to make a reference mark and the toe measuring tool that is just a big caliper. You can do very well with this simple setup.
