Default Opinions on my recent alignment



So just got back from the shop and this is what I ended up with. Mods are 1"lower on powertrix, and spc camber arms with lockout plates. I do not have toe bolts installed.

Front isnt my worry, but the rear. I wanted -1.5 but then toe in blew up to .77 so we did -2 and that got toe down a lot. So for you guys with alignment experience and such, is this something where I could leave it as is and not worry about those rear tires wearing out especially fast? Or is it definitely recommended to have toe bolts put in To get it really nailed down. I'm just scared of drilling out the holes for them and honestly just tired of fiddling with suspension stuff in my driveway in my back lol
Note, I have an unlimited 3 year alignment plan, so no worries on them messing anything up, as I can just go back after each tweak

Thank you!

Not to bad but get the toe bolts and you will be good to go! It is really cheap mod considering what you can spend on suspension.

Yeah I'm just kinda scared about drilling out my subframe for it.
If I simply swap in spc toe bolts without enlarging the hole, would that give anymore adjustability on its own? Or do they only work with the bigger hole

You have to enlarge the holes.

You have to drill the hole to get the benefit. If you don't trust yourself then get someone to do it. Pretty much everyone that are on coils have done this as well as those on lowering springs with no issues. LOL, I have been tracking for a couple of years now without any issues.

Thanks guys! I'll figure out means to have it done! Coilovers should only be sold in packages with camber and toe bolts for our cars haha
