I'm running an agressive rear setup on my sedan. In order to get ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE camber (more tilt for clearance) I installed SPC camber arms and toe bolts. I have a half finger gap in the rear, but I'm pretty much maxed out to about -4.8 camber.

Today I verified my coilovers are set at the same height, and that my camber is equal on both sides. My toe bolts are completely maxed out to one side to get rid of as much toe out as possible. Here's my question:

Visually, one side looks pretty dead on (zero toe), but the other side it looks like I have a good amount out toe out. The tracking on the car is now off, causing my steering wheel to be slightly off center. Why can't I achieve the same level of toe (in) on both sides despite ride height and camber being identical on both sides?

How have you guys with very aggressive setups done it? Traction arms?

 

I installed the camber arms and toe bolt kit myself. Is it possible I didn't perfectly elongate the hole causing a small amount of restriction? I would hate to take it to a alignment shop, pay for an alignment, only for them to tell me that's the best they can do with my toe. I want to figure it out beforehand.

 

It's hard w/ tolerances in mass produced products to have everything come out even. If you notice w/ most alignments w/ lowered vehicles one side will be different from the other, and often times the adjusters are maxed out, especially those that drop their cars w/out camber kits. If you've got both sides maxed-out and one side is in the other isn't it's probably in the tolerance variation. You'd probably have to back off on your camber a bit so you can get that toe proper on the bad side.

 

That's the problem. I have my camber set to where the rim will clear the fender even at full compression. I'm thinking about getting adjustable traction arms.

 

Whats the point of driving a pointless car? None of this sounds cool nor looks cool. Your tires are a risk for very fast wear, your handling probably doesn't handle, and you can put others at risk when a tire explodes on the highway one day. Do us all a favor. Raise the car, adjust camber and toe properly, and do it right or not at all. You don't drive a civic, you drive a semi expensive car and it needs to be modded like one.
