Camber / Toe Issue...
I am having problems getting my rear alinghment done properly... My car is lowered on tanabe gf210 which is about 1.2-1.5 inch drop... I have rear camber arms but I can't get it into spec, do I need to by the radius arms as well to help this issue? The camber arms I have are megan racing which has a good rang of adjustibility. What have you guys done to fix this problem, I just want even tire wear on the rear.
thanks
Jonathan

If you have aftermarket camber arms and the alignment place can't get it back into spec as far as camber then you might want to go to a different shop. Also camber, ultimately effects toe with our cars so the more they adjust your camber your toe could be getting out of spec.
But it seems to me that the shop doesn't know what they are doing, because it should be fairly easy to get the rear into spec w/ aftermarket arms.

I took it to a NTB, they said I could not get into spec even if adjusting it with my camber arms... So what your saying is that I am able to get it into spec with just the camber arms, like I said I just want even tire wear.

Do you have a previous alignment sheet?
I had mine lowered with the exact same setup as yours and it was pretty far off when I went to get it aligned. But with the aftermarket camber arms(mine being intense motorsports) it was easy for them to get it back into spec.
Either your alignment is absolutely horrible to start out with or they aren't doing something right..

you need spc toe bolts, decreasing the negative camber throws the toe out of spec, and won't be adjustable within the stock toe adjustment range. The holes need to be elongated to allow for more adjustment
