Alignement after drop question...

Just drop my car and install SPC camber kit front and rear, with the toe bolt, but when I got to the alignement, the rear toe was impossible to be in spec... it was nearly 2,5 toe in before and the best it became is 0,56 toe in...

everything else is in specs

any suggestion?

did you elongate the toe bolt holes before installing the camber kit? that's what allows for much more range, and enables you to get back to oem specs. sounds like that's what you need to do. all you need is the template (off their site) and a dremel.

Can you post a pic? No offense meant, but i've seen instances where some would elongate the hole where the camber arm attaches to and putting the toe bolts there instead. It could be likely this is what happened, that or you need to find another alignment shop.

Only other thing is that your alignment shop sucks. Who'd you go to?

How big of a drop are we talking? Also, you elongated the hole on the inner sides?

the toe bolt is in the good hole (no offense)

It's a good friend who did the alignement, he work at a acura's dealer and he did it on his own time... I trust him, he was my mechanic when I had a drift car and it is used with
modified car.

The two side of the hole was elongate, and we're talking of a two inches drop, the tires are flush with the fender, a little inside in the rear..

I'm gonna elongate a little more the toe hole and try a new alignement.

Thanks everyone

I wouldn't elongate it more than the template says to. If you didn't already, I would make sure the bolt slides easily along the elongated slot.

2" is a pretty big drop. Maybe go for slightly out of range camber with zero toe.
