Well mine may be the tech at Firestone doesn't know what he is doing. But they said it is the best they could do to get it back in spec (which was 0.15 and 0.18 deg toe). When I got new tires installed last week at Nissan they said "our tech thinks he can get it in spec." I said, "can you guarantee that as in if you can't get it in spec I am not paying." They said "No." So I figure it would be best to go ahead and install the toe bolts and take it back to Firestone to get the toe dialed into 0 deg rather than to pay a shop $80 to try and get it in spec with the stock bolts. Right now I am only out $10 for drill bits and a couple hours tomorrow to do the install.

You can always get the toe back to spec, but the camber will suffer or vice versa. You cannot get both back to spec without a camber kit and toe bolts... so either live with -2.8 camber or get a set of toe bolt and camber arms!

Rgr that. I already have the SPC rear camber arms on and the rear camber is 1.7 - 1.8 IRC. So toe bolts it is.

No worries. Perhaps you are running more camber with your setup allowing your toe to be near 0.
