Don't know about recommended Dan, but I set mine to 1mm toe in . Seems to be OK handles fine with no abnormal tyre wear. If you need them I have some steering turn plates , camber and castor gauges and corner weight scales

Dan,
I set mine to straight ahead - a little toe-in is fine, but toe-out can make it very twitchy when you're trying to go in a straight line!
