Before 1st alignment (L/R)
Front --> Camber -1.9/-1.8 Caster 6.0/5.3 Toe .09/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.7/-2.4 Toe .28/.26

After 1st alignment
Front --> Camber -1.9/-1.7 Caster 5.9/5.2 Toe .09/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.7/-2.4 Toe .19/.17

Alignment after installing Kinetix front control arms and rear camber and traction links

Front --> Camber -1.5/-1.4 Caster 6.4/5.6 Toe .07/.08
Rear --> Camber -2.4/-2.4 Toe .09/.16
Why would you buy front and rear arms only to leave the camber in the rear @-2.4 your front was @-1.9 camber sound like you spent all that money for nothing.

I rarely track my car. I wanted my car a bit lower and my camber slightly aggressive over the stock settings so I can still get good tire wear. I'm happy with the front camber and curious about the lefts caster's setting. I would rather have my rear at -2.0 but I'm limited by the toe now.

I'm wondering if the SPC Toe bolt would help me in the rear?

Yes that would fix the problem.

Exactly.
With Swifts I think I'm about - 1.5-ish in the rear with SPL arms and still under
- 2 on the front without changing anything. Curious why these numbers were selected when both ends now have the ability to hit spec numbers.
