Default Alignment Questions

Hey guys,

I just finished installing a complete Hardrace bushing kit into my ITR and changing out my RCA's to new F7 units. At the alignment shop, my rear toe adjustment was maxed out on one side and I was still getting +0.40 degrees. The other side in the rear could be zero'd out, but it was also set to ~+0.40 degrees to balance out the side which could not be brought into spec. The front was completely fine, but I think the problem in the rear is that I was really tired and probably did not pay enough attention to how accurately I was pressing in/out the bushings to the OEM depth (small accumulated error over the course of 10+ bushings).

Preferably I'd like to have the toe zero'd out in the rear. Would a rear toe kit give me the extra amount of adjustability to zero everything out?

Should I even be worried for now over the 0.40 degrees of positive toe on either side in the rear? At this time I'm more concerned about crazy tire wear than anything else, but less than 1 degree doesn't sound too bad to me (of course I'm no alignment guru).

Thanks a lot!
