Rep Power: 0 Rear Toe Question
I have a 2000 LX, and I have it moderately lowered. Currently, the stock rear toe arms, after re-alignment, are all the way out, but I still have an inward toe of about 0.3x degrees both sides. I can't adjust the stock ones further, so I was looking at some adjustable toe arms.
Camber is ~ -3.5.
My question is, with 0.3x degrees of inward toe, is it worth getting adjustable? If so, what brand would you suggest?

What is the stock rear toe spec?
With additional neg camber I know I would want some extra toe in to help compensate for the camber. Probably at least double original spec toe in, maybe even more.
It's probably still gonna eat the inside edges of the tires sooner or later though.

Sorry for late reply, I've been recently diagnosing a completely separate issue (loose timing belt).
Looking at the service manual, camber is -1 degree +- 1 degree. The Toe isn't given in degrees, but rather in mm: 2mm +2 -1 mm. Annoyingly, it doesn't give it in degrees, which is what everything else is in.

I think 2mm = 0.16 deg, but don't quote me on that LOL
Modern computerized wheel alignment equipment pretty much eliminates the need for converting from one form of measurement to another. I think ours shows toe in degrees.
But stock specs don't always work when suspension is modified. Our alignment stuff does have a way to do custom alignment and store whatever specs we enter into it.
