Need Help With Alignment!!!!

ok a while back i got my spc rear camber installed and took it to a shop to do an alignment....well for some reason they got the right rear wheel to specs for camber and toe but the left side the toe wouldn't go into specs....it was wayyyyy off but camber came out fine

now i bought a megan racing toe kit......and the alignment guy said that it wasnt a toe kit and yet again the left rear toe was out of place but that megan racing toe kit just pushed the wheel back further and somehow the toe and camber came into place

did i just screw my self over??? please any input would be awesome....main question is how come the right side can get into specs with the toe but the left one cant

The "toe" arm from megan racing or any other "toe" arm is worthless IMO, as it doesn't adjust toe correctly, and is actually a radius arm. It changes two planes of suspension geometry when trying to adjust the toe. The reason they couldn't get the toe back into spec is that they didn't elongate the hole the toe bolt goes into for increased adjustability range. Therefore the SPC toe bolt coulnd't rotate completely to get the toe in spec. Get rid of the megan racing parts, put the SPC kit back on, and have the shop elongate the toe bolts before doing the alignment, and next time have them follow the instructions included with the kit before you waste all this money.
