Fixing a mildly lowered evo's alignment issues.
UPDATE.
thanks for the attention thus far guys. im sorry the sheet is so ****ty to read. i took it in a rush.

the camber on the driver side is almost 0 but the passenger side is still at one deg. Ive got to think the tech dident turn the bolt around to correct this on that side. ill slide under the car and look today.
more to the point. the toe is real close to 0deg so im at a bit of a loss as to why both front tires as wearing more rapidly on the inner edge.

Now I see what you were trying to say but you have it backwards. You are too positive and not enough negative. Get rid of the springs and save yourself a lot of headaches. Are you sure the front camber bolts are installed correctly? If you insist on keeping the springs and you can't get enough negative camber you can get a second set of camber bolts for the bottom strut mounts. Ingalls and Eibach both make them.
Looking at the before and after numbers all that was changed was the toe, and that was only from 0.00 to -0.07 degrees. A stiff breeze in the alignment area will do that.

Very difficult to read that sheet. I can't tell if there are actually numbers there or if its blank. Try to scan the whole page, need to see the rear numbers too. How long ago was the alignment done? Did you have tire wear before the alignment? Did you rotate the tires at all?
-1 camber is fine on the one side. The other side is essentially zero so something is up. Even on the -1 setting the factory camber bolts run 0.8-1.0 deg neg camber. On the -2 setting camber is typically from -1.6- 1-.8 deg. Yours isnt even close to the -1 setting for the one side that is off badly.
Make sure the tech has the bolt in correctly on that side. If it is correct then you have an issue, possibly with the top hat , bent strut or badly worn bushings on that one side.
Toe is fine.
Make sure the tires are properly inflated as well ( 30/29 )

i remember clearly watching him work under the car and the camber change on the screen. not sure how the before and after measurements are taken and saved.
Ill be going back next week, and Ive picked up a set of camber bolts just in case.
the rear numbers are not correct on that sheet. when i go back ill upload the results.
my original question still stands. is there an adjustable rear arm for toe control that people like / recommend. OR does the factory piece allow for enough adjustment to correct for the lowered ride height.
and the springs are being replaced with a set of swift's.
