Anyone with basics please help me out

Heres my question...after install the basics on my car and waiting for it to settle. I took it back to the installer to get the height adjusted and for some reason the rear was maxed out and it only dropped the car w/ only 1 finger gap. I'm like wth! They said it had to do something with the spc toe bolts. That when they installed the toe bolts it raised the car higher. Im like so confused right now. So if anyone with basics and spc rear camber kit w/ toe bolts dropped my then i did please comment..thanks

toe bolts have nothing to do with how far they can drop the car. look yourself and see if the spring perch is maxed out

i don't know what to look at tho..but i just looked at my car right now and the rear right is dropped more then the rear left. the rear right is dropped exactly 1 finger and the rear left is like 1 1/2 finger gap. i called them too n they said the rear is maxed out i just dont get it..i think im going to bring it back to them.

^ yeah, snap pics of the rear setup and post it. Basics do suck a lot though. FYI. springs/koni yellows spank Basics.

Hmmm . . . My rears are set at a snug 1 finger gap . . . And from the looks of it, there is still plenty of adjusment left. I also have the SPC rear camber/toe bolt combo, as well. Actually, I initially had the rear set a bit lower. However, I decided against it and raised it up a bit.

my rear is maxed out and i have about a half a finger to a 1 finger gap in the rear. you cant go any lower then that on the basics in the rear. the rear range for the basics is +0.16" to -1.2"

to get my rear lower i plan on taking off the adjuster rings and seeing how it looks that should give another half an inch or so. if its still not low enough just take the perch out all together. that will give you about another 2 inches.
