Rear had only toe bolts before adjustable arm purchase:

Left Camber -1.9
Right Camber -1.8
Toe Left .22
Toe Right .23

The Car actually handled much better (before) than with the current alignment specs after the SPC adjustable arms.

This is why I am going back to get at least -1.0 Camber in the front and bring the toe in to .04 based on some feedback.
Rear I am OK with the -1.5 camber (street use only).

Yeah I don't doubt that! Not even -1 up fronts going to handle pretty different. The befores look much nicer. I'd still prefer 0.5 to 1 difference between front and rear so after I lower maybe ill keep -1.5 and get just rear arms and install my lock out bolts to achieve -1 rear. I'd start with zero toe all around and see if I like it. I always thought rears were zero toe and front was like 1/8" in. But I'm sure different cars, different numbers.

What toe bolts are you talking about?

Ok I may be looking at this wrong.

But I suggest 1.5 to 2 mm of toe in per side on the rear.

Ok now I'm even more confused. Can you say that again in terms of how toe is measured in degrees and not length?

Converting from mm to degrees:

1)275/35R19
2)MATH
3)???
4)1.5 to 2 mm is 0.13 to 0.17 degrees in toe.
