*suspension.
and if you want help youre going to have to be more specific with what SUSPENSION modifications youve accomplished.

If you're on coilovers with adjustable camber in the top hats, you will have to add negative camber. But first, I would check the bolts connected the spindle and the lower mount.
If all else fails, take it to an alignment shop that has an in ground lift.

What you're looking at isn't a toe problem.

First, try spelling correctly, we can't comprehend what you're saying.
Second, try fixing the problem first before making a thread. You haven't even gotten an alignment yet and expect us to know every problem about your car. It could literally be anything

^ exactly.
youre supposed to take it in for an alignment first.
that way the technicians can identify anything that is out of wack/bent/etc.
if they try their best and still cant get it aligned and or identify the problem, THEN
you come to us.

enough with the pictures, we all know what a rattle-canned s13 with shit wheels looks like.
Log off zilvia and don't come back till you aligned the car.

How was the camber before the coilovers?
And when you say maxed out, is it maxed out on both spots? Both the camber plate and the strut mount, if it has that.
But if those are all maxed out, then its probably a control arm (well hopefully just that).

Wait u did max them out towards the inside right? If so then check the coilover mounting brackets as mentioned earlier to see if the upper mounting holes are close to the inside too. If they are the ur lower control arms are bent for sure

Kid what you gotta do if test the camber rods and camber chain make sure the chain for the camber is nice and oiled if the camber chain indent oiled you'll have the exact problem your having now!
Second with the camber rods your going to want to take them out and put a little bit of oil in the little slit it will work like a charm
What you could also do it if you jack up your car and see there's still camber let Some air out of your tires that usually works tires are probably have to high psi in them

You all suck at being funny.
OP: Post a pic of your coilover top hats showing the camber position.
Also, loosen the two bolts that hold the coilover to the spindle. Then push the spindle in as you tighten the coilover back down.
Some times you can gain/lose some camber there.
