Here is my situation:
I have a 93 honda civic hatch.
I just did an integra gsr front and rear brake swap and installed a Progress pivot mount camber kit for the front only (only has two settings, used the minimal correction setting).

Prior to the new brakes and camber kit, I had it aligned a couple months ago when I lowered the car. The only thing out of spec was the camber. They were able to set the toe perfectly.

After installing the integra brakes and camber kit, I had it aligned again by the same shop. Here are the specs:
BEFORE
Front Left: Camber: -1.42
Toe: -0.92

Front Right: Camber: -0.21
Toe: -0.89

Rear Left: Camber: -1.22
Toe: 1.70

Rear Right: Camber: -0.93
Toe: 0.04


AFTER
Front Left: Camber: -1.43
Toe: 0.02

Front Right: Camber: -0.22
Toe: -0.04

Rear Left: Camber: -1.73
Toe: 0.72

Rear Right: Camber: -0.86
Toe: 0.12

The right side of the car aligned pretty good, but the left side didn't. The left side camber is 1.xx degree worse than the right side. The camber even got worse for the rear left after they tried to get the toe aligned. They were able to get the toe correct for 3 wheels but not the rear left. They were able to correct it by 1 degree but is still off by a lot.

I was thinking of switching the front left camber to the other setting which would correct it more, and install the longer bolt and washers in the rear, but then I would have to get another alignment and the rear left toe will still be off.

How could I fix the toe for the left rear, and should I fix the camber on the left side and get it realigned?

bump

 

You can easily fix the back using washers to shim the UCA to bring the camber on that side closer to 0.00.

Not sure about the front... maybe an adjustable balljoint will help it out.

 

I know how to correct the camber...my question is how do I correct the toe on the rear left after having an alignment done.

 

Hey.. I think I'm in the same boat as you..
Put Teg brakes and Ingalls camber kit (upto +3) and even with the camber kit as positive as it can go... it's still negative... dunno why..
Car is dumped bout 2.5" - 2.75" but cambers looked the same or better before the brake/camber swap.
i don't know exactly what teg the brakes came from.. but i found it odd how the A arms were wider and I had to use the stock A arm from my civic.

 

Another question I have...is a positive number toe, toe-in or toe-out? Will adjusting the rear left camber make the toe worse or better?
