Forget the camber kits. Up front, they do much more harm than good (and there really is no good that they provide). In the back, waste of money (especially since you only need bolts and washers to reduce rear camber).

Get the car properly aligned. Toe is what kills tires, not camber.

Thrashed bushings can also contribute to tire wear. Check and replace as needed. If the bushings were not correctly clocked when the car was lowered, they could very well be trash now.

Finally, punctuation. Learn to use it.

The rear UCA is held in place to the chassis by 2 bolts. Using longer bolts (grade 8 or higher) and washers, one can reduce rear camber by shimming out the arm from the chassis.

Search a bit. I'm sure there's a few threads discussing it with pictures. "Rear washer trick" might be the best search term.
