Problems with front toe

I recently installed full spl front arms (lower control arm, upper control arm and tie rod end) and lowered the front end a 1/2 inch from where it was. I run MCS 1WNR coil overs with my camber at -2.0 degrees. My problem now is I can’t get more toe in. I am maxing out the inner tie rod ends. Did I install something wrong? Before this the alignment was fine. Both sides are the same, it’s not just one side. I’m gonna pull it apart tomorrow to see if I see anything. Anybody ever run into this before?

You're running toe-in on the fronts?

Since you have full spl arms I imagine the camber arm and thrust are are too short? Lengthen those arms and you will be able to dial in your toe better.

In other words, maybe you have your track width set too narrow with the adjustable arms.
