Smile Lowered today on tein springs...pics and alignment question

Install went really well, the 17mm nut on the top hats were a pain! I had it aligned and they told me my rear toe was out of spec and non adjustable. I also have 12mm rear hub spacers.

Does anyone else have any rear toe issues or tire wear issues on teins? Toe specs from the shop: Rear Left .44 degrees and Rear Right: -.12 degrees

Before



After



Friends Mr-2 Spyder

No help on the alignment, but just had to say looking good!

MR2 is nice as well. I spy a Midship Runabout front emblem I do believe.

Garm sells the rear camber rings that will allow you to get the toe and camber set where you need it. Cheap and easy, but best to take them to your alignment guy to be installed.

Looks good, but I didn't have any alignment issues. In fact, I drove for a year before I got an alignment done, and that's because the highways in my area became craptastic when they started to repave them that I think it threw off my alignment enough to suddenly cause tire wear.
