handling all effed up

Hey guys new to forum. Had my evo x 2014 in arctic white for two years now. Gsr with track pack on it. I recently installed my rsr lowering springs. And full cusco underbody brace kit and new cusco sway bars. Put my winter wheels on and took it for an alignment. My problem is he says my rear toe is out. Cant even get it close to spec. Ignorant shop. But thats besides the point. Around town the car is a blast. But hit anything kinda ruff and ice covered the back end is walking all over the place. I made sure to put everything back the same. Pretty sure toe is out. Any quick ways to fix or am i better off buying adjustable links. Thanks.

I asked if it was a joke because "Arctic white" isn't an Evo color, there is no "track pack", and of course the car is going to slide around on snow/ice.

That being said, depending on how far the car is lowered, the X can run out of adjustment for camber and toe and may require adjustable links. You should be aiming for 0 toe front and rear..

Thanks. I meant track pack as my gsr has the upgraded mr suspension on it. I lowered it an inch. And had an alignment done. Obviously it will slide around on snow and ice. But this is different. I dont think the shop i took it to didnt try too hard on the alignment. Doesnt even come close to handli g like stock did.

Lowering it only an inch should have no effect on getting the alignment dialed in. Get your money back and take it somewhere else.

If you don't get winter tires expect to slide more... especially stock tires.

Yea if the toe is messed up the back of the car will feel wobbly. But if you only lowered it an inch that should be something there able to adjust.
