I have the tokico hp spring and strut combo, it dropped the car pretty low but not too low. I got it aligned but had -1.8 -2.0 in the front and -2.6 -3.1 in the rear. Anyhow I got an ebay camber kit and its was complete junk, the front offset bushings sleeve ws too big so I tossed it...yes as we all know ebay parts are rough somtimes LOL. Well I got the car to school and with six washers in the rear I could only get it to -2.1 -2.6 set the toe and now it rubs a little, I planned to get more washers but not now. The way I see it is my options are to get new springs, run the negative camber and zero out toe and hope they last or roll my fender wells. I'm sure its been asked a million times but does anyone have experience with that much negative camber?
 
I think your on the right track about rolling the fenders :/... and Id look into some good camber kits! They make all the differance. We just slammed my Talon and had to roll the fenders and set some neg camber to clear everything.... It still rubs every once in a while! good luck!!!
 
roll the rear quarters and stretch tire!! thats what i did. i havent been on a rack but if i had to guess i'd say im about 1 to 1.5 degrees neg camber in the rear
this is also on 18x9.5 et30 wheels

I hate to say it but i woulda had firestone do it. i got almost all free alignment kits with adjustable control arms and all on my 97 gst spyder. i bought a lowering kit installed it. they told me what was needed to align it so i had them do the work came to about 850 parts and labor. they couldnt get it to line up and said there printer was broken so i took it to school and they said it was still so far out of alignment that it was hopeless. after arguing with the manager down there and calling corprate they issued me a whole refund and i bout the parts myself and installed em for almost 1 third the price. ... my dad somehow aligned it with paint on his street by his house.... i still cant figure out how these old timers do it...:hmm:
 
Oh, I can guarantee that adding or deleting washers in the rear of a 2G will change the toe.

And this is done because the toe adjuster is connected to the rear of the wheel. So push it in or out up top(adding removing washers) will pull or push the rear of the wheel in or out.

Anyone disagrees your wrong.

Also i wouldn't trust Firestone on alignments. They don't know wth their doing. I can do better with a string and thumb tac.
