KW V3 ride height question

What I have:

KW V3
SPL Camber arms (no toe bolts installed yet)
19X10 +35 in the rear with 275/35/19 PSS tires

I am at or very close to the lowest perch setting (highest height) in the rear but still too low to get my camber dialed in close to OEM specs. The rears are tucked in with about 2 cm between the tire and wheel-well lining. I'm concerned about getting some mileage out of the PSS since they are expensive and have been replaced once.

Would the toe bolts allow more adjustment to (obviously help with the toe) and camber?

Is my tire width, combined with the offset, too aggressive for a sedan?

Do I need to find a better alignment shop? I will post the latest alignment readout soon.

I did contact KW regarding their 50 mm spring spacer but they said it would destroy the coils and void the warranty and discouraged me from installing it.

Not on KWs but I'm lowered to 26.25" (zero gap) in back w/ 295/30/20 on 10" +45. I have the SPC rear arms & toe kit and my rear camber is -1.1 on the passenger and -0.06 driver w/ 0.08 toe on both sides. What's your height to the fender on your back coils? Should be able to get it in OEM range w/ the toe kit.

With the toe kit you should be able to get the camber in while keeping the toe about where you're at right now. The factory toe bolt is basically worthless w/ any drop, barley any adjustment range
