Can your toe bolt rotates 360 degrees? If it can and the adjustment is all the way out, check the camber, this affects the toe, as well. I had zero issues with mine. My initial adjustments were way off, too. You have to take it to an alignment shop as soon as possible, after the install.

Yes, any competent shop should know how to align your car with the SPC arms.. I just brought my car to a regular tire place after they were installed to get an alignment.. Didn't even have to tell them I had the arms.. they figured it out themselves.. no problems..

The toe was off by like 3 degrees on one wheel.. everytime i went over a bump it slid sideways.. Steering wheel had to be cocked WAY over to the right to drive the car straight LOL.. My car is pretty low but the camber and toe was put back within factory spec with these arms.. My fronts are still off though because the car is too low.. need to get some a-arms sometime down the road to fix that up...
