Default Is this normal for alignment specs...

First off these guys (Morgan Mechanical) that did my alignment are awesome and have done other cars for me.

They told me that LH rear axle partial toe is off by +0.43 degrees with a target of 0.13 degrees. The RH side came out to +0.11 degrees (within spec).

I have the ECS adjustable tiebars and now I'm wondering if I should do the K-macs?

Any feedback would be great. TIA

Default If they've already used up all the slot adjustment....>

On the trailing arm, then you'll need an upper Kmac to get any more..

Default yup. you'll need it to adjust the toe when its relatively low...i have uppers with Kmacs and

lower Forge tie rod. can pretty much adjust for anything. have new KW 8012 springs going in...so we'll see how that goes.
