dropped on eibachs, toe in spec?

hello.

a few months ago i had my car (dropped with eibachs) aligned. technician tells me my camber is way off but my toe was in spec. is it possible to have a 'in spec' toe from a dropped car?

i am thinking of purchasing the SPC camber kit, however i am not sure if the toe bolts are necessary IF my toe is in spec.

also, does anyone know the factory camber/toe specs?

thank you!

Yes, you can. The toe and camber adjustments are independent (to a certain degree).

If you're only wanting to correct the rear you can get the camber arms only
and still be able to adjust within factory specs using your factory toe arm.
(if your drop is no more than -1.4"...Eibach's advertised drop is only an
average. Mine dropped -1.4" and was able to get the rear within factory
spec using the stillen rods..although I ended up re-setting them out of spec
on purpose to dial-in my car). You need to get the car re-aligned though
after install.

Factory toe spec is in mm so kind of hard to convert into degrees which
most shops use these days. front should be 1mm (approx 0.09 degrees)
and rear 2.8mm (approx 0.28 degrees).
