I just redid my alignment 2 weeks ago myself, as well as installed my rear toe links and rucas. Before so, i drove with the coils at the lowest setting, and the only difference was the negative camber, toe specs did not change, or at least not merely enough to notice. However, once I added more positive camber, both rear wheels had a bit of toe out and made the car wander like crazy, so I then adjusted them again to have -1 camber, and that fixed the wandering problem. All in all though, that was done by eye balling and using strings to measure toe.
Of course toe has a more significant effect on tire wear as opposed to camber, but most of the cars i've driven with only slammed coils and nothing else done to the suspension, are not exactly altered by toe, as it barely changes at all. It's when you put more positive camber that the toe adjusts itself.
So again, the OP want's to just get coils and slam them without upgrading other suspension components, and that would be fine, and like I stated, the only downside to that is camber wear from the natural negative camber. He shouldnt be affected by toe.
Edit: I never said I didn't accept what you have written, my intentions were to merely add more insight to the OP from a different perspective and words. Sometimes, one may grasp a concept better when given the correct information from 2 sources. All your statements and suggestions were good ones. Good day.
