Typically a buddy and I have used strings (or something similar) to align cars with upper and lower A-arms since the camber and toe adjustments were pretty much independent. Not the case on the back of a Boxster.

I, too, plan on dialing in different toe settings for autocross. The "toe" link will adjust mostly toe, but you'll also change camber.
i did misunderstand you. you are absolutely correct that adjusting camber at one wheel will affect toe at that wheel. adding neg camber will toe the wheel out.
