A water level requires a bit more effort but is significantly more accurate
since you can make sure all FOUR pads are level with each other and not two.

A more accurate way is to drop a plumb line from a bar resting on the fender
(make sure it's centered) and measure from the wheel rim to the string using
a machinists rule... 

Also, another helpful hint: buy 8 pieces of cheap linoleum floor tile at the
nearest home improvement store.  Spray silicone lubricant on 4 of them (make
sure you spread it around evenly) then make a "tile sandwich" using the lube
as the filling.  Tape them together, put them on your leveled pads, and then
drive the car onto them ... undo the tape and -- voila! -- you now have four
cheapo swivel plates that allow the wheels to slide side-to-side as you make
camber and toe adjustments, and this prevents the suspension from binding up
as you make each change.  When you're finished, store them in a garbage bag;
if you keep them clean, they'll last almost indefinitely.
