Would a coilover leveling kit settle afterwards enough to throw toe out of spec?

I ask because when getting serviced the dealership noticed my toe is off enough to need further examination, and I need to figure out if the shop that installed the kit and did my alignment immediately afterwards screwed up or if this is to be expected.

This is the printout I received

I would say that they didn't do a very good job or didn't tighten things down.

It will settle a bit.. but it would settle evenly. If anything it would change your camber as it settles. Not toe.

This sounds like the alignment wasn't done right at first

Dealer tech said everything was torqued perfectly (yay for me not fucking up anything on the rear shock install ) so poorly done job it is!

Thanks guys. Time to bitch at the installers.

After installing my ICONs w/ UCA my Toe was off a little. I attached my alignment sheet.

Wow, if that's pre-alignment numbers and even involved swapping control arms it makes me wonder if my guys even did the fucking alignment.

That's my guess

I managed to stay polite on the phone and am heading over to the shop monday so they can "check things out" in their words. I'm not optimistic based on the receptionist's tone.

They're corporate so hopefully "chargeback" will be the magic word if they try to fuck around.

What a fucking nightmare. 4 hours and counting ordeal. These guys don’t even do alignments in house and they apparently operate on a walk-in basis with the shops they outsource to so my 8am “appointment” is worth its weight in “scheduled for production” emails.

Sorry, that info though tells you they didn't do the alignment.

Even better: they did exactly half the alignment.

I'm oddly ok with this. Lot easier to write off as a genuine mistake than an attempt to pull one over on me.
