I'll start with 1 full turn and see where it ends up.
When I completed the new suspension I used the string for toe and Iphone App. for camber and caster. Then it took some time to find a relatively local shop that had a rack that we could get the car on (it has a very low stance). The shop readjusted toe only, they didn't want to touch camber and caster which to my surprise was extremely close to what their high tech setup was reading. A few days later I started looking at the alignment report more closely and noticed the toe measurement was in degrees (0.30*) and I didn't know what that was in inches. After searching, asking, posting multiple times could not get an answer as to the inch conversion and whether that was toe-in or toe-out on the report (the shop was no help either).
This prompted me to redo the alignment at home but this time using the Tenhulzen camber/caster/toe plates. The packaging came with a conversion chart and that's how I now know that 0.30* = 3/16" which is more than I want for toe-in (I'm not returning to this shop again). Now the only good thing is that the current toe is set in equally on both sides (I presume this since the shop had it all digitally lined up and square), therefore and correct me if this is wrong but as long as I turn the left and right tie rod adjusters equally then I should end up with both sides toed equally, is my thinking right?
