Exclamation Camber kit but bad alignment

I am lowered on Bc coilovers with SPC rear camber kit w/ bolt kit. I got my alignment done twice and both mechanics could not bring my rear camber back into spec. They could bring my camber into spec but it would throw my toe out of spec. They said I need a special toe kit to help bring both the camber and toe into spec (but I installed the SPC toe bolt?). I don't understand...Also, I am getting very bad vibrations on high speeds. Any input would be appreciated.

A good 2 inches lower than stock. Yeah I put the ones that came with the SPC camber kit.

They should get you very close w/in specs. What is your camber now?

I think I figured out my problem...the toe bolt was installed where the camber bolts were. The wrong hole was elongated. Hopefully, that wouldnt be a problem with my camber...

Where have you been going for your alignment....Sears or PepBoys? Find a qualified independent brake/alignment shop in your area. Talk to friends and family for one they recommend. Every neighborhood has at least one good shop, lucky I have two. The last two times you had the alignment done did they give you a before and after printout? Alignment racks aren't worth a darn if the mechanic doesn't know how to make the adjustments....Gary
