I have to disagree with a couple of points here, Patrick. :)

First, while doing a quick and dirty DYI alignment may get you by, unless you have a good caster-camber gauge and some experience aligning front ends, it's almost certain you'll end up in an alignment shop anyway. That is, if you care at all about how the car drives and how long your front tires last.

Also, if you're going to be adjusting camber at all, you do the toe-in measurement/adjustment last. That's because camber adjustments can have significant effect on your carefully adjusted toe-in. Conversely, adjusting toe-in has no effect whatsoever on camber and caster settings. Ergo, toe-in is the last thing you adjust, not the first.
