Hi All,

today I finished the rears of my Tanabe Coilovers.
I also installed a rear camber kit.

I have a few things to do
-adjust to the height I want
-do the front coilovers
-get alignment
-new wheels (april)

I expected the camber to need adjusting after the drop. But i can visually tell the toe is IN on the rear. I went for a slow drive around the block and it obviously feels unstable.

I know the alignment shop will make the definite tweaks, but I want to try and eyeball it.
Would adjusting the camber arm help with the toe.
These camber kits say "Camber arm with toe bolt"
how does it work?

once you're dropped you're automatically cambered in, toe will go off the chart along with it. so, after you installed the camber kit you can dial the camber back to close to spec as possible but the factory toe bolt is too short to dial the toe completely.

you should never try to adjust your toe without an alignment machine. finish up installing everything adjust your height whatever then take it to your trusted alignment shop.

OK, I didn't mess with the OEM toe arm, only the aftermarket camber arm I installed.

I'll do it like that. Get the fronts on then off to the aligmnent

Good lookin

The primary toe adjustment mechanism on our car is separate from the camber arm itself. It's adjusted by an eccentric bolt. They can be purchased with the camber arm set or separately.

You know what, they did come with an extra bolt that I didnt use. It wasn't round like an "O" but like a "D"
I'll take that to the alignment shop.

Here's how she sits now

Alignment came out great
Used the eccentric bolts. Elongated the slots for the toe adjustment!
