Default rear camber problem

i went to get an alignment saturday morning, everything else checks out as i recently changed the whole front end, ball joints tie rod ends whole nine yards except the struts, in the rear i changed the bushings on my lower control arms (blox) and the trailing arm bushings (energy suspension) i inspected the upper arm bushings and found they are good

i have fairly new front and rear kyb dampers and stock springs, but my camber is still off on both sides,

i do drive aggessively, but i still want the rear to be 0 degeers camber because tire wear is a major issue any suggestions besides a rear camber kit?

did you get a printout? what were the before and after TOE measurements?

unless theres something abnormal, since you got an alignment already, you wont need to worry about tires being chewed up. camber is not the issue.

you could pull out the two bolt holding the rear upper arm into the body. go to a hardware store and buy longer bolts. while your there buy about 12 washers. use 3 washers on each bold between the body and the arm (where a real camber adjustment would replace). this will push your camber more possitive the more washers you put. this is an old school way of adding camber to the rear. also sold on ebay for 20 bucks.. this is the cheap way of doing this if you didnt already know
