How many aligned after lowering - What did you find
I lowered using tein basic coilovers about 1.8 - 2.1 somewhere in there...
My rear wheel's toe, WHAT I WAS TOLD, is now in. too much...
XA owners - did you find the same with your rear wheels if you got an alignment.
Did they do a centerline or thrust alignment?
Did you have the back wheel or wheels corrected.
Mine only effected the drivers side back - weird not both wheels
The fronts were a breeze - camber bolt done it.
CONCLUSION: the shop thinks I have a bad factory defect in the rear.

Personally I would go for a second opinion if possible. Did they even try to adjust the rear toe?
I'm waiting untill after I put my TRD shocks in to get an alignment. I can already tell the front wheel camber will need to be adjusted.

thanks
I went to a shop today to check the alignment and they said they could not use the computer's spec for the xa cause it was lowered.
I do I get the correct specs after I lower the car for a proper alignment?

WINNER!!
Yeah, dropping the car changes the toe in the rear. I watched the techs in our shop do it several times. I've seen the machine. It isn't BS.

and doing alignments sucks
seriously, If I didn't do my own (as infrequent as possible)
i would hate to pay for this service (we charge $150+parts)
adding shims to the rear isn't as bad as other cars
at least you can get to the bolts.....
