Default Camber kit adjustment probs??????

I have a 88' DX and I just installed a ingals camber kit. its off of my friends 91 Integra. anyway after instaling the kit the toe on my car is all messed up. I have tried and tried to adjust the toe using the camber kit adjustments and just cant seem to get it right. My tires are wearing quick and I was just wondering how can I fix this without taking it to a alignment shop. I only need a temp fix because I will be taking it to a alighnment shop next weekend. Anyway thanks in advance for any imput. Oh yea and by all messed up on the toe I mean that its toed out on both sides.

You cant adjust the toe using the camber kit, well technically you can, but they you'd have some funky alignment settings, take it to the alignment shop, you need to adjust them by turning the tie rods.

I would take it to an alignment shop anyways, just because they have machines that are designed to fix camber, toe, alignment, etc. They can adjust it to the correct specs for you. Plus, you probably need an alignment anyways because you installed the camber kit (I guess you know that though

Alright guys I hate to bring this back fromt the dead but I did my own front end alignment and it seems to be almost perfect. I just use a tape measure and measured the distance from the inside of the rear of the front tires and then the front and I had alot of patience and when they pretty much leveled out then I was done.
