toe/camber adjustment

So my mechanic and I have ran into a problem. I just installed coilovers, spc rear ccamber kit with toe bolts, and rolled rear fenders.

Everything needed in order to fit these 20x10 rims with 275 tires in the rear.

I've talked to a couple fitment gurus on the sedan section of the forums and They've told me I would have to run -3 camber and to tell the alignment shops to zero the toe in the rear. My mechanics been trying to hand adjust the camber and toe so that I can at least drive it to a alignment shop.

The problem is he's running into is that every time he adjusts the camber so the wheel tucks under the fender (negative camber), the toe keeps pushing out. So hes saying he needs more toe adjustment...Can anyone chime in or give me some advice?

just taking a jump here, but did he adjust the toe bolt in the rear. (FYI there is a way that the toe bolt in the rear has to be installed. It's a pattern that has to be cut.). That i'm not sure but i think it might be a DYI on here somewhere about installing the rear toe bolt using a dremel tool. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

here is a link

When he installed your spc toe bolts did he extend the washer area? Toe can't possibly be maxed out with -3 camber...i'm running -2 on stock toe bolts with toe in 0

Yea he elongated all 4 holes properly.

@jae35 - mechanic didn't throw it on alignment machine, he eye balled it. I'm taking it to alignmen shop tomorrow for a more precise alignment, hopefully the 20x10s get tucked tomorrow and everything will b all good.
