alignment specs before and after

Ok suspension experts. Rear camber kit added with toe bolt.
Before:
Camber -2.0. Rt camber - 2.9
Toe .70. Rt toe -.80

After:
Camber -1.8 Rt camber: -1.6
Toe .65. Rt toe: .20

Left side couldn't get any better. Tried more camber less camber to get that toe in. Suggested that it may have been hit or bent at some point but hard to point out which one because all components have slight bends etc. Also suggested maybe a camber kit with more travel than the spcs. Also doesn't think it will kill the tire wear too much. Suggestions comments?

When you added the rear toe bolts and rear camber kit, did you, or a shop widen the slot? The more you widen it, the larger your camber EDITnot camber, should say TOE) adjustability. It's possible whoever did it cocked the whole thing up and now your slop bolts can't adjust enough.

The installer should have ground out the slot where the spring bucket bolts on to the rear subframe. Assuming you purchased the SPC camber kit with toe bolts, you received the bolts plus two templates to use when widening the slot on the subframe. From there, the toe bolts turn left and right to adjust toe.
