Question adjustable toearms

I have an 03 coupe with tein flex z coilovers, in the rear the spring and strut are 2 separate pieces with the spring going into the bucket, my tires are waring down terribly and ive been told i need adjustable toe arms, i cant install adjustable toearms without removing that bucket but then my spring wouldnt be attached; is there a way to put the spring on the strut, a different way to fix the toe problem, or would i have to buy new coils for the rear so i can install the adjustable toe arms?

A regular camber kit may work. A lot of people have been lowered and close to spec while keeping the spring bucket.

SPL and SPC are decent brands. I run SPC front and rear and the only thing that is slightly out of spec is camber with a 1.5 - 2 inch drop. I haven't kept myself up-to-date with aftermarket in years, so there may be better options.

How low are you? If you're only lowered about an inch than a camber kit WITH extended toe bolts will get you back in spec.

The rear uses shocks not struts so it's not designed to hold the weight of the vehicle off the shock mount, a true coilover kit will replace the entire spring bucket with an adjustable rod, then an actual STRUT in place of the existing coil spring, and the factory shock gets deleted.
