Car lowered now HUGE oversteer???
I put eibachs on and aligned it as best as the shop could get it but they said they could not get the toe out in the rear back to normal specs.
Have you guys done anything to get the alignment correct after lowering your GS?

There is one solution. Try to raise the car a little bit. I took my car in today for alignment and it was really really bad. I'm going to raise the whole car about 1/2" and take it back again tomorrow or something. This will put some numbers back in spec. I realize this isn't an option for you obviously because your suspension is non adjustable. Mabye switch to some taller springs?

brotha thats crap you are being fed..
toe issues on our cars is not a issue .. we only have camber and depending on how low castor but never toe.. take you car to a high end shop and have them use the newst hunter machine .. i am sitting very low in the back of my gs and my camber is at -.08 deg which is still within spec .in fact i just had my alignment done this past saturday on the new hunter machine.. beleive it or not i instruct the tech how to do the actual alignment to my specs such as alittle toe in on the rear to compensate for trq to the wheels wanting to push them outward which also helps camber wear.
also make sure they use the lift while on the ramp to raise the rear , then loosen the camber bolt and adjust without the weight of the carand lower car slowly and adjust toe..the only way toe weill not adjust is if your rear subframe is twisited, or the adjustment threads are stripped

Just like Lexforlife suggested, go to a place that has this unit http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/al...sensors/4946T/ This is ideal for lowered cars. The place I go to has it as well.
