There are three bushings for the lower control arms. The KIC normally comes with the big one. The bushing at the subframe for the lateral arm is important. KCSAAB has that one, as well as the others. And the front sway bar bushings can be replaced as well. Those are not easy as you need to partially lower the subfame to access those.
When you take all of the play out of these things, the toe-in setting will not be soaked up in bushing deflection like when stock. So the toe-in should be close to zero. With the VRK I adjusted the toe-in myself. I could set it close to zero. Between adjustments I would go for a spin around the burbs and found that if the toe-in was off by a small amount that the steering felt dead. So there is a sweet spot. And you want near zero toe-in when dealing with ice and snow as well. So don't be afraid to judge toe-in by feel. You will know when its right or wrong.
