I searched around a little bit and talked to my firends (but what do they know?) anyways I have a 1997 spyder gs, i have coil-overs and my rear wheels toe-in really bad with 18's. like in the rain even, the rear end wants to go everywhere and in snow its hell. When i had my car on the lift putting exhaust on, My friend said all my stuff was unajustable, so that i wouldn't be able to fix the camber problem.

So for a expert dsmer :dsm:
Should i go to the alignment shop and the problem solved? or should i get a camber kit for the rear ???? any input and tips would be great :thumb:

Is it a camber problem or a toe problem? They're two different things. I'm assuming you're talking about camber; in which case you can just buy a camber kit to fix it. It's not a big deal to do, and I even think there's a DIY version somebody posted at one time or another.
 
By toe in or camber i mean the rear wheels are like this , sorry i don't know my terms

It appears to me that your talking about camber. Camber is not a bad problem pending on how many degrees it is. There are many kits available to adjust it and there is a DIY fix it for negitive camber. From your illistration it says it is negitive on your car. Do you know how many degrees of camber it is? On my car I run -1 on the front and -3/4 on the rear.
