Do you mean toe or camber? Toe should never be in the range of 1 to 1.5 degrees....

After I fitted mine I can now tell that the wheels seems to sit more flat on the ground and isnt cleaning in.

which ones do you have and how thick are they? and how much camber did they take out.
My camber is off also if i can get 1 to 1.5 degree camber out with that plate.
My toe is 4mm out to ..... mm out. Camber is around 2 positive to 1.3 negative.

If those plates are thick enough i think i can also regrind them to take out 3mm on the plate for the toe. then everything should be set .
