I also have the SPC kit. Im lowered on the Eibach sport line. I had the shop set my toe at 0 and my camber is way off. what can i do?
Stumbled onto this thread as I'm trying to sort out my own alignment issues. The guy who re-did my alignment told me that there is an inverse relationship between toe and camber. This explains why correcting the toe (moving closer to 0) means that the camber will move further negative. That is, if his theory holds.

I found this to be correct. I noticed that the closer the rear camber to be dead-on 0 degrees, the less room for adjusting the toe...even with the SPC toe bolts.

I noticed when I adjust the camber with a some negative angles, the spc toe bolts had more room adjustment. Any else noticed this??

I know that some negative camber is good for handling, but I was more concern with preserving tire life than handling performance. Regardless, I'm stuck with the slight negative camber anyways just to get my toe on point.

For the DIY wheel alignment, if you don't like mechanics touchin' your sh**

DEEZ and classy are correct. dial in a bit of negative camber... toe will eat up tires more than camber. Plus, Gs comes with a bit of negative camber from the factory to improve handling.

With rear SPC camber arm, elongated hole, SPC toe bolts:

So far, I'm assuming that having a 0 deg camber will max out the elongated toe adjustment, leaving the toe alignment way out of specs and no more room for adjusting it.

Anyone able to get 0 deg camber with 0 deg toe for the rear? Or is the only solution is to have some negative camber which free up the adjustments for the toe?

Any input would surely ease my mind. Thanks!
