I was not happy about the toe either, but the "tech" told me I'm fine as long as its in range and the 7/100ths of a degree wouldn't be noticeable.

Camber on the other hand is obviously out of range, but its not even visible, and I've driven cars with worse negative camber before that did not feel as bad as this. I understand every car is different though so if I can be convinced that getting everything green will solve my problems I'm willing to chase that result. The question is what parts will I need to allow it? My spring buckets are still housing the springs so I don't think I can get actual toe arms, which leaves me with the traction arms but I've heard that they shouldn't be used to adjust the toe. I also don't think aftermarket eccentric toe bolts will do the trick either but that's just a guess.
