I did this so I could adjust to 3mm toe in per wheel factory spec.
As a note there is a service bulletin that if you have the OEM original front springs, the front has to be loaded until you get the correct chassis height and then you set the toe in.

My alignment was done by Tony Bones at Wheels In Motion to factory settings:

I confirmed the cars settings a week later using my supertracker optical gauge and wheel plates, but this takes longer to account for wheel run-out.
Much quicker than bits of string.
Just my experience.........
