Default Stock rear toe control arm adjustment?

So i just bought a megan rear camber kit and just wondering if i still need to buy toe arms to make it to 0. I dont want to go spend $100 on an alignment and then they tell me to get a toe arm and have another alignment. Thanks!

Unless you're looking for crazy fitment and lowering a ton, you don't need toe arms. I have FIGS mega arms for my rear's camber, and have been able to set camber close to factory specs and toe close to zero.

Stock toe is adjustable on all 2is's front and back. Camber is only adjustable stock on the front of AWD 2is's.

Thanks! Going to dial them in and send them to a shop!

Sorry but I'm not sure. The camber arms I got replace the rear LCA's, a bit different!

If you're able to use the factory nut, good. Otherwise use the provided nut with a large SS washer along with it.

Seeing the amount of camber you're going for there, I'd suggest picking up the toe arms just to help with the tire life as much as possible.

Would the wheel fit properly if you zero the toe? My car tucks the wheel similar to yours. If I get a camber kit and straighten my toe and camber out I would probably be rubbing a lot.
