So i've lowered my car on coilovers. And this has opened a whole load of shit and worries.

So, I had a mess on with the camber, and got it all nice and straight, but the both wheels were toe'ing out. I then tried alligning by eye, just to get to a wheel allignment place.

Turns out there isn't enough track rod to compensate the toeing out, not even enough to drive it around. The only way i can get it drivable is by having the steering wheel slightly turning right, and adjust the camber just to keep the wheels straight.

Any ideas as i cant compensate via camber as the steering goes all to pot.

Are the coilovers camber adjustable? Normally an elongated whole on the strut, where it bolts to the hub.

Yea they do have camber holes. They are FK's.

How did you solve it? The only possible way i can get my wheels straight is having the bolt all the way to negative camber (Towards the chassis).
