Too much toe on the other hand could make your handling worse. I do my own alignments with my lowered cars (coil over systems). I pretty much adjust the rear to get the toe perfect and then just let the camber fall where it does (as long as it's balanced, no more than 0.1 degree difference side to side). I don't really care if I have 2.5 to 3.0 degrees of negative camber. I can buy more tires and enjoy the good handling for now.

If you want it perfect for a street setup, then you'll probably need adjustable toe arms (I like Tarett) to get both the camber and toe right.

The front looks fine to me. You can't really get less negative camber than -1 with lowering springs.

Thanks. Tarett price is a little steep for me right now. Do you know anybody else that makes them?
