Hard to tell without knowing how much negative camber you have. I had -3.5 degrees of camber and had my toe within spec. I had Battle Version camber arms with the Eibach/SPC toe bolts.

How stretched are your tires and how aggressive are you driving in the rain? I had an extreme stretch, 225/35 on a 10.5 and didn't have any issues during rain, however, if I were to floor it, I'd easily have that feeling of skatin on ice.

Having your toe will greatly affect how your car drives, don't know why it's so off.

Well I cant remember the camber, i got no cambers in the front and rear spc camber n toe.. had the toe on the front to oem spec or lil positive of +0.03 and camber was at -2.1 and the rear camber i believe was almost back to spec if i remember correctly it was at 1.1 but the toe was way off n he couldnt screw it anymore to get it back to spec... im on stretched 225+35+20 on a 9.5 front rim n 255+35+20 on a 10.5 rim.. pretty stretched.. The thing is i feel like on skates goin 40 mph on the highway.. Meng like ive had all my previous cars lowered n its never been like this... I cant ride highway right now cuz its toooo dangerous.. Especially tryna switch over lanes thas when it really slides left to right... Tryna get this figured out n get feedback on what i need to look for.. I know my toe is off but daayum didnt think it would make it ride like this...

Wow, that's interesting. I'd say see if you can take it to some other shop. If you were in So Cal I'd recommend a few places. Front camber sounds right, I was at -2.4 so you're probably a tad higher than me. I know for a fact that you should be able to get toe in spec in the rear with the height you're probably at. I know of several people that have around 3 degrees of negative camber and toe is in spec..that's why I'm guessing it might be the person that did it. Only thing I can think of.

yea gonna take it to another place... Hopefully i can get this right.. Just waitin for my springmount mod so i can get slammed another inch in the reat n half inch in the front then gonna take it to another place to align it all n hopefully this time can get this right.. Kinda sucks to have my car modded but cant push it cuz im afraid i might just lose grip n skid off into the wall.. I can spin out my tires in the rain and my vdc is on! Wit stock oem 19s forged i couldnt spin out the wheels cuz vdc would catch it...

With the stretched tires its soooo much easier to spin out, even in dry weather...hopefully all that gets squared away.

Yea but daaayum, we'll definitely gonna switch to a beefier tire.. like 235 n 265 maybe.. not so much of a stretch...

get megan or stillen kits get full adjustment of both camber an toe

[donpisto]

I'd pass on both of those... both products are not that great.

If you want something durable for rear camber kits, I'd go with SPL or Battle Version. Personally I recommend Battle Version. I love mine and what makes them even nicer is that you can always swap the link for a longer one like I did to adjust even more negative camber (that's if you get a toe arm otherwise toe will be off).

When it comes to suspension, I wouldn't settle for a lessor product in terms of quality.

Plus, the price difference between the Megan vs Battle version is under $100 and it's also cheaper than Stillen. The guys that drift Z's primarily use Battle Version camber arms...that itself should speak for itself.

Well I got the lifetime alignment deal for $139 at firestone today. They adjusted my toe in the rear the best they could but I still dont think it made much of a difference. The worker told me the camber comes negative from the factory, and these cars naturally eat up the inner tire. I guess the only thing I can try to do is keep getting alignments every 30k miles to prolong tire life as much as possible
