I think you have to buy the kit for the front and you can use washers for the rear...

If you do the washer trick to fix the camber in the back best to eye then you should bring the car to get the toe aligned in the rear. I think that's what he was asking, if he needs to get the toe aligned. If the shop was really good and wanted to get your camber perfect they could also work with shimming the upper control arm with different combinations of washers.

i have the same setup and what i did was i gave the shim kit to the alignment shop and they fixed the rear camber with the washers for me. Go to your alignment shop and ask them to just do it for you.

On the front of the rear trailing arm there is a compensator arm that connects it to the frame. Where that compensator arm attaches to the frame it is adjustable. If you loosen it up you can move it back and forth and it tilts the trailing arm.
