I just had new tires put on (Dunlop SP8000's, tire rack has great prices
on
these currently) and got an alignment done.  I had done my own alignment
on
the car using a method described by someone here on the list using
string and
levels.  I think I did pretty good.  It seems that my measurements were
off a
little on the camber, due to an unlevel floor that I couldn't measure
the
error for (oops)and had some toe (which is my question) .  My car seems
a
little odd.  I wanted to get near 0 camber for some trips I will be
taking,
but they couldn't!  My car would only go to -1.3.  I had it set to -1.5
for
auto-x.

Anyway here is my question.  I had -.99 degrees of total toe.  They
didn't
say which way this was, in or out.  Is this toe in or out and just how
much
is this in inches?  My rims are 16' BTW.

Also the same goes for the rear.  It has a total toe of -.49 degrees.
What
is this?  Rear camber is minimal at -.22 and -.26.

Thanks for the help.
