Default Toe Problems

So... I just bought a set of Krappy Kumhos this year back in April.... my dad does my camber and alignment and he said the camber still isnt good enough (looks fine to me) but then there's my toe problem... my rear passenger side looks like its been hit but camber and toe is fine but the rear driverside is good never been touched but I always seem to have a problem there everytime I would put in my stock or my fully sleeved coilover system like really hard to get the lower hub joint in the lower control arm unless 2 of my friends help me. I guess my chassis is funked outta specs or something makes me wonder why my front passenger looks normal but bottoms out often and my whole passenger side I gotta wind the coils a bit more than the whole driverside to get a correct even height when lowering or raising but with regular shocks and spring setup its fine and normal.

Yesterday I decided to look under my car at work and I noticed my inner wear of both of the tires are smooth now like butter I just bought these tires my camber adjustments are just maxed out for adjustments. Ive always wondered why does it smell like brand new tires everytime I get to work and home since the day I bought the tires and now it comes to my finding that I really have toe correction problems.

Is there any place or any vendor here that can get special pricings/discounts on adjustable toe rods? the nagasia are like 500 a set. I guess this is what I need or should I go for a set of adjustable lower control arm like the FIGS or Ikeya?

how come your dad left so much toe on there?
are you on factory adjustments still?
if so, get some aftermarket ones so you can compensate for it more.
