Looks like you guys had a super fun day... Like Gilley said, we used to do this more often a while ago... once everyone gets most of the mods they want everyone starts to drift off...
Lots of "racing" upper a-arms are designed to give more negative camber. Negative camber helps a road racing car go around corners faster. Check out a Formula One Ferrari's front wheel camber to see what I mean.
We want the exact opposite. We lower our cars and then want to add positive camber to get a normal alignment. Not all front upper a-arms are designed to add a lot of positive camber.
Nice gloves, Ian!

as far as the difference between the 2 cars, i doubt the type of wheels have that much of an effect. as long as your overall tire sizes are pretty much the same then it wont differ that much. its probably more the variation in camber from the factory among these cars. some people can stay closer to spec with the same drop. you see the same sort of variation in dyno #s from the factory.

Thanks for the feedback!

From what I've read, fixing camber will improve toe. But not necessarily the other way around.
Making the toe holes longer will allow for more adjustment which is available with the aftermaket toe bolts. The toe bolts have a cam type thing that when turned will move the entire bolt (and the control arm connected to the wheel) back and forth. The bigger the hole that the toe bolt goes through, the more movement which can be achieved. And likewise, the more adjustment which would be available for your rear toe.
When youre camber goes more negative, it throws out your toe, also.
