update: had the alignment checked- bad news- RR cam. -2.1, -2.2, RR toe .24 total toe -IN! It just won't come in enough. I want half that cam and 1/32 toe- in. What's preventing it from getting there? Could it be that the strut hat is indexed incorrectly, say by one bolt spacing? Everything seemed to line up perfectly during assembly. Nothing appears bent.

By eye, how far off are the camber eccentrics from side to side?

Count the graduation marks and make a common reference point from side to side.

If the camber marks are way different side to side.. something is tweaked/bent.

The *only* time I have an issue with toe? is when we go to low on a car that I'm not allowed to run double adjustable race style toe links

Remember: camber effects toe. Too much camber? You'll never get the toe back to zero!!

SHOOT and POST pics.. I can't be your eyes if I cant see what you see!!

Use brake clean and an old tooth brush to clean all the adjusters (with the marks on them)

hi Brad- The adjusters are the same on either side- I moved them there. Also, we even loosened the top L and retightened while pulling it outward - no change to the numbers. Is -2 cam a big deal on these cars, and the toe problems an expected outcome at -2 CAM?
I'll attach pics in a bit
PS. my car should be and looks like, it's only 1" lower at RR- I'll measure tonight.
