How low are you? I don't imagine Skunk would design a setting that puts you outside the toe adjust range... but who knows.

Reason I ask, I had this problem on a race car. If you go too low you end up not being able to dial out all the toe. I had to change the toe adjust slot in the lower arm, it was not easy. Lots of machining and welding. Eventually we designed our own lower arms.

From memory, if you add -ve camber to the rear, you end up with more toe in... since you're already pretty light on the rear camber (-1.0deg) I don't think you should remove any more. Our race car was running -5.0~7.5deg rear camber... so I had no choice but to do something drastic. Maybe try this: loosen the front 'dog bone' on the trailing arm and shift it as far outboard as possible. You can also loosen the front lower bushing on the knuckle and push it max outboard as well. There isn't a lot of clearance in these joints, but there may be enough if you're close.

If thats not enough... you'll need to start raising the ride height.
