Arrow Modified rear lca now Bv toe rod is to long

I have a supra rear subframe and all battle version arms. I want my camber at zero for drifting so I cut out 3/4 inch out of the lca. But now the toe is way to far out with the Bv arm pulled all the way in and the factory adjustment . So I am going to try cutting the BV toe rod about 1.5inchs and tapping it to fix my problem. I was trying to see if this is a common problem for people.

i dont think there are many who are modding their control arms to that extent.

If you modify the toe link or the camber arm it will have an effect on the other one.

You either cut too much off the camber arm or need to trim some from the toe link to get them both proportional.
If you've removed 3/4" of material from the other arm its likely the same (or close to that) is necessary for the toe links.

Ok so I think that 3/4 is still not enough but I have already braced and finished the control arms. So I am going to take 1inch out of the toe rod and that will give me enough adjustment to pull my toe back in.

I am at zero camber with everything maxed out right now with the car off the ground i am guessing that will go to maybe 1 degree Neg once its back on the ground.

My car is static and sits like this.
