as the title says i really am in need of a rear camber kit because my tires in the rear are slightly pointing outward on a slant and its really bugging me. I just want the wheels to be vertical to the ground so i dont have to buy new tires every 6 or 7 months FTL! im not really familir with camber and stuff so if anyone could hook me up with their .02 id appreciate it thanks everyone!:msmile:

Make sure you have your toe zero'd out and you won't have to buy tires every 6 months. All rear camber arms are pretty well equal. Get whichever is the best deal.

Any name brand kit will work fine, just don't get the cheap ones cause i have seen then break at the welds.

Your camber is not killing your tires, your toe is. Did you ever get an alignment after being lowered?

yea the rear upper control arms are not adjustable. many times people will buy a camber kit in addition to the lowering springs/coilovers so they dont have to go back in later and install the camber kit and have to get the car aligned twice.
