This is how camber affects toe in front. Also RCE camber plate info.

I have a 2014 BRZ on stock suspension. It has RCE street camber plates and crash bolts. I just had an alignment done and set camber to -3.2* on both sides in front. There was no toe when at this setting. Then I adjusted the camber plates outwards to create less camber. This was then measured at -.9*. The toe was then measured at -.2* total.
So generally speaking, on a BRZ or FRS with OEM suspension, adjusting the camber one degree changes toe by about one tenth of a degree.
Also, for those with RCE street camber plates, know that they have seven marks/settings available and these measurements were taken at the settings that generated the second most possible camber and second least possible camber. I.E., of the seven settings, these measurements were taken at settings number two and six. Therefore, each setting of these camber plates is worth (3.2 -.9) / 5 = .46* of camber.
