lOWERED ON BC COILOVER, ALIGN PROBLEM
I lowered my 2002 GS430 about 1 1/2" and im having trouble with my alignment. My front control arm bolts were corroded so i had them replaced and that got the front good but the rears are a different story. The left rear is -1.6 deg (out of spec) for the camber and the toe is at -.49!(way out of spec) The right rear is -.9 deg for the camber (in spec) and the toe is -.02" (in spec).
Spec for the rear should be:
Camber = -.03 degrees to -1.3 degrees
Toe = .08" to -.02"
My question is, what do i need to get the rear in spec? I dont plan to go any lower but i dont want to be replacing tires all the time either.

If your adjustments are maxed out you'll need aftermarket adjustment gear.
SPC makes adjustable upper control arms for the front that give 2 degrees of adjustment and extensions for the rear that give 2 degrees of adjustment. Figs and a few other companies also make them.
1.6 in the rear isn't bad I run 2 degrees in the rear without heavy tire wear. Now that toe on the other hand, that's ugly.
Your fronts, nice, I'd like to "stand up" my wheels enough to run under a degree but once again no tire ware issues and I'm running a touch under 2 degrees up front.

^^ yes that should be it, you can also get spc rear camber kit, I got -2.1 Maxed camber from them. you need to replace with aftermarket RUCA or RLCA if you want more camber.
