Help camber kit...

So I recently lowered my 2011 evo x on coilovers and I decided since I plan on tracking the car I wanted more camber then stock adjustment. So I bought the whiteline rear arm camber kit. I installed it but can adding more camber really make my toe that far off to where the car feels scary to drive? I double checked and triple checked everything on tightness the only thing I had a bit of a question on was on the inside bushing there seem to be one side protruding more then the other and the directions weren't very clear if the bigger piece should be pointing towards the front or the rear of the car. And does that even matter.. sry no pics right now already lowered the car and put it away for the night...kinda frustrated..

Have it aligned professionally. I'm sure there are some brand name alignment shops in florida that could hook you up. As for the toe, it's aligned separately using a toe arm. You want 0 toe for less tire wear.

Well yes that would be great if I lived in Florida..I live Missouri and good alignment places are hard to find unless I want some sort of rwd drag racing setup. But I think just going to add more positive camber back to it and just go pay for an alignment. Man my s2000 was never this touchy about alignments..

On these cars and many others as you change the amount of camber it also changes the amount of toe.
Anyone that can do alignments should be able to hit the alignment specs you are aiming for.

Bingo. Changing camber changes toe.

But let me add a little more. Changing toe can also have a small effect on camber (albeit nowhere near as much as the above), so you always do camber, then toe, then go back and make sure that the camber is still correct.

There's a name for folks who mess with camber without realigning the car afterwards: tire-buyer.
