The rear numbers are a bit off. To get a slight and even rear toe in, the right camber came out to -1.3 while the left camber resulted in -1.8. I thought that was a huge variance, but the shop told me it should be "fine" and that the camber adjustment affected the toe and vice versa.

Has anyone thought of or tried SPC rear toe links to "fix" the rear camber asymmetry?

An aftermarket toe link will not change how the toe moves the camber. You need rear LCAs to adjust the camber. See my post above.

Literally just aligned my car last night and the rear takes a little more effort.....I think I adjusted each side 3-4 times to get it "right"/even on each side.

The rear camber is not adjustable. Setting the toe evenly is much more important, you would never sacrifice toe adjustment to even out the camber. Classy to assume the tech is either not knowledgeable enough or just lazy to not adjust something that isn’t adjustable.

Unless you think front camber should be II while rear camber is /\. Then by all means, throw the toe out the window and make those Rota 19s tuck. Because stance bro.
