Call this don’t try this at home. Tried to make a subtle tweak to improve tire wear a little. Ended up with a crooked steering wheel, and psm and abs warning lights. After many many attempts, I finally got it back to normal. Now I just need to visit a professional to get it absolutely right. Below are the crude tools and some advanced geometry that actually worked to get it back to normal. The wood block was a key piece.
There is a google spread sheet document floating around on here, I believe, that calculates how many degrees each eccentric bolt must be turned to achieve the specified settings after filling out the spread sheet with the current values of toe, camber, track width etc.
It takes away the iterations normally inevitable to achieve the target values.
Unfortunately I cannot find it...
Found it!

I saw that one too. Thanks. Didn’t have much success with it. It was trial and error with a mm ruler. I think I got lucky. Drove to work today with no issues. Very dumb on my part. Lesson learned.

Don't think it really works like that, eccentric bolts by nature adjust a linear position by sin(theta) or cos(theta) depending on which direction you're looking at it. I've learned to just set the car up on level tire stands with the gauges and toe plates all connected, then get underneath and ask a friend to read out the numbers as I fiddle with the eccentric.
Then good luck tightening the nut back down without the eccentric moving, not sure why but my C2's rear subframe must be slippery or something.
