I recently put on my HKS RS coliovers and SPC rear camber arm and toe bolt. I sloted out the holes per directions and lowered my car about a inch, maybe slightly more in the rear.
Went to get alignment and rear is set at -2 degrees camber and 1/8th per side toe in. There is no more room to go toe out because it's maxed out and if I go with more + camber it will toe it in even more.
It looks like my only option is to raise the car up some to get more toe out. I ideally wanted -1.5 rear camber and 1/8th overall toe in. I know it's a small difference, but I wanted to see if anyone else has come across this issue as well. Yes, I trust the aligment, I was there with him when it was done, he's a freind of mine.
I am running 18x9.5 rims with a 22mm offset and 275/45 Toyo T1-r's also.
Thanks for the help!

I cant be lowered any more than 1.5." I'm not too worried about the front, and the rear really isnt a big deal since I track it, but I dont remember people having any issues, so I thought I would check.
I was thinking today that maybe smaller diammeter washers on the toe bolts might help, since it looks like the ones on there know are hitting the tabs preventing it from toeing out. Maybe I'll try too see if smaller ones will work, I cant imagine the bolt itself is all the way in.

No, no updates.
Camber and toe are still the same. I'm getting the car corner weighted soon and will see if there is anything that can be done, but it's not really a bad thing. Car handles and turns great.
I was mostly worried about why my toe out is maxed with a mild drop.

But how does your car handle for daily driving? I'm not concerned about handling as much as I am about spending money on tires at this point.
I think I'll send you a PM as well in case you don't get this.
