Default multiple suspention questions

so i bought my 4th gen prelude a year ago and after a few bolt ons and fuel upgrades i decided to focus the build of my daily driver on the suspention.i replaced all the ball joints and alighnment components for the front. the car initially came slammed on sprint springs on the stock shocks and i swaped em out for ground controls and kyb gr2's(budget cut). but i was getting some nasty issues with camber. first of i get a set of ingalls ball joint style camber adjusters for the rear and a cheap set of bracket style adjusters in the front. i got the car alighned and everything looked good except the rear wheels. they were still running alot of negative camber. after doin some searching online i figured that i wasnt carfeull enough when i order the adjusters and i didnt get the ones that correct to 3 degrees. so i got the spc ones in and took it to alighnment. and they said that i couldnt correct my camber enough because i was turning out too much toe. i believed him but i was pretty sure that you can correct toe with the camber adjusters but sliding them. they assured me that there was no way that i can correct my toe with my camber adjusters. (just so everything is clear we are talking about the rear camber of the car. ) so they advised me to buying toe adjusters. so i did and they ended up being pieces of crap and i didnt want to put them on my car(megan racing). im not againt megan racing products but the camber adjusters were not somthing i felt safe running on my car. anyway i feel like somthing wasnt right about this situation because i know i see preludes all the time just as slammed as mine with good camber. so i jacked up the car and noticed and i was in some dire need for bushings in the rear end like, the control arms and trailing arms and some random other ones were pretty damn shot. so thats where i am right now; i bought ploy bushings for the hole car and the cars at one6 right now getting them put in. now i hope to god that the reason i couldnt keep toe was due to all the torn bushings in the rear end because how it stands i dont know what other approach i can take to get this fixed. ive looked all over and i dont see any other rear toe adjusters for preludes so i figure that i shouldnt need them especially for the rear end. if anyone could shine some light on this issue it would be great. and does anyone know if u can correct toe with the balljoint camber adjusters?

The megan rear toe control arms are solid. I'm not the only one to think so. If your new bushings don't bring it into spec I would suggest trying the megans. There is no other easy option.
