i think you can see it more clearly in this pix that the rear wheel is point out to the left more then what its normaly should be

it should be pointing straight

Toe adjustment needed. Part of getting an alignment.

You said you have SPC rear camber installed...would that include the toe bolts? I'd recommend those if you want to save rubber.

With a toe adjustment, yes.

Did you get the alignment redone after installing the arms and toe bolts?

If you just put the springs on they need a little time to settle. The only other thing that can be an obvious cause for it to be uneven is the placement of the coil springs in the spring perch. There's a specific position for them to rest in.

Did you look at the inner side of the rear tires?

When you lower a car, your tire/rim will camber in (negative camber) and this will also cause toe to come out (toe and camber affect each other). That is why your tire is sticking out on one side. An alignment will get you back into spec. Also, having your toe off like that will wear down your tires fast (a lot faster than just having negative camber).

A lot of cars are off and it becomes more appearant when you lower a car. Since you have coils, you just need to adjust one side to match the other in height.

lol just to be sure if you all are understanding me . i drew a quick pix

the first pix is showing a top view of the car n the wheel

and the second pix is the a side view of the car n wheel
1 wheel pointing out ..

n 3rd pix is how i think every1 is expplaining about camber . i kno camber is what makes it slanted
like a V almost or backwards V lke this - > / \ or \ / or l l

but what im trying to say is
it looks like the front wheel when the wheel is turn slightly to the left. but in the rear..

if u do understand me and you say its the toe. then i gues imma go in 2morr to alignment shop and make sure for them 2 fixs the toe..

but hope u guys understand mee lol
