A camber/caster guage. They're less than $100. I use a level, though.

How much negative camber is beneficial in cornering, but wont kill my tires on a daily driver?
I drive around with -2.5*. If you have just a HAIR of toe-out (essentially zero) and good four-bolt LCA bushings, this should be okay. To play it safe try -1 to -1.5*.

Anyone know a better toe guesstimater than measuring the distance between the front of the tires and the rear of the tires?
Find the centerline of the car by measuring between suspension pickup points and marking the frame in the middle. Run a string along each side of the car between jackstands that's parallel to the centerline. Measure your toe numbers from the wheel to the string.
When I have time I'll point you to some really good DIY links.
