Adding neg camber in front will give you toe-in, not toe out, I think. And it's more than you might expect. Like KTL says, make some toe plates (mine are from construction lumber!) - you can check it in about 2 minutes.

I prefer my car with less caster - I have as little as possible. Different folks, different strokes.

KTL, I've had good luck using a cheapie laser level for rear toe. I made a spacer block that sits against the rim (also used for checking camber). I then bungee the level / spacer to the rear wheel. In front, I then measure distance from the laser spot / line to the wheel center. I make sure both sides are equal, and I use the toe plates to see the amount of toe. I find it easier than setting up strings.
