Default Camber Kit (HELP)

I installed my rear camber kit just now, i noticed the rear wheel toe's front goes inwards and rear outwards. Do I need the toe bolts as well if I put a rear camber kit?....

Toe kills tires faster than camber. You need the camber arms and the toe bolts to do it right.

The toe bolt does not go on the camber bar, it goes on the spring bucket (the bolt on the inner side of it and looks similar to the bolt on the camber arm). And the toe + camber adjustment are connected, adjusting one will alter the other. Adjust the bolt on the spring bucket to fix your toe (by moving it towards the inner edge).

you also need to know exactly what you are doing before even doing a project like this. sounds like you don't

Z04 obviously I have some questions, why don't you input something helpful instead of being a *****. What you said didn't answer my question so sounds like you don't know exactly what this thread is about.
