lol, yes! As soon as you move the camber back into line, the toe moves with it! The factory toe bolts do not have the range required to KEEP the car in toe. Get the toe bolts.....

Because you lowered the car, the camber became more negative and the toe did not change. That is because the springs were a 'central' point and the camber changed down the centre axis. As you try and correct the camber with camber arms, the toe will move 'in'.

This is because the camber arms are positioned low and to the front of the springs, effectively 'pulling' the font and bottom of the tire inwards and creating an inward toe effect.

The aftermarket toe bolts will pull the rear of the tire inwards and rearwards, allowing the alignment to became neutral and create 0 toe once again. The stock bolts do NOT have enough range to do this, and you will have to enlarge the toe bolts holes for the install to work. There is a template provided in the toe bolt package for enlarging your toe bolt holes.
