I know most people are using the spc unit to get the rears back into spec, but who are using it to run more negative camber? Can toe still be corrected if we're running more neg camber?

I had the Kinetix arms also....but after double checking the lengths of the toe/traction arms I realized that the shop over extended (beyond Kinetix spec for safe operation) one toe arm to bring the toe back inline for my camber arm/toe bolt setting. This created a dangerous situation - over extended toe arm and over stressed camber arm.
My plan is to remove the Kinetix arms and re-install the factory traction arm and SPC camber arm/toe bolt. Install is in process.

If I purchase the adjustable traction/toe rods they also sell (which the also sell together as a kit) I should be able to bring the toe into spec when I have the camber where I want it correct?

I installed my toe bolt last night but I'm wondering how perfect the hole needs to be grinded? They aren't exactly equal on both sides. Do I need to re grind them if the aren't perfect. Thanks.
