We'll the car was stock hight my springs are being installed today. And alignment should be done in 2-3 days I want them to settle first. So I should buy camber bolts for front and rear?

Stock rear has visible camber. Ask for the printout from the alignment machine or at least take a pic of the screen when he is done.

Camber bolts or plates, or actually get a a dealership that knows what they're doing alignment wise (no offense but all the signs point towards camber issues)

Not yet figure out the issue first you might not need them yet, also be aware that you should contact whoever did the alignment initially to give back your money

The only way to adjust rear camber is lower control arms or whiteline adjustable upper control arm bushings.

And like someone said get a printout from the alignment shop. Dont take their word that its ok. Also the factory range is fairly large so it could be camber and toe is at the extreme end of the spectrum combines with too much tire pressure.

How many miles on the tires? Have you rotated them?

Its probably not ur camber unless the car is "hella flush"... And staggered... Lower ur tire pressure and make sure ur "toe" is perfectly unlined. The "toe" of the car is the most important part of ur alignment, next comes camber, and last is caster. Fix ur "toe" and most of ur tire wear will be fixed. If problem persist, then fix ur camber by purchasing a rear camber kit since u said it was mainly the rear tires.

Thank you. Can I fix the toe myself or alignment shop? And the tires have about 3k miles on them and the back are really worn on the inside. They have not been rotated they are staggered back ones are about an inch wider and they are a little bit stretched.

Thanks for the help everyone!!

Its possible to do a toe alignment urself... Read the write-up from this link and see if its something u would like to try... http://www.negative-camber.org/jam14...alignment.html .... If you're not sure, i recomend taking ur car to another alignment shop and tell them to align ur rear toe.

Just for your FYI....

Toe Vs Camber

As you can see, Toe is more of the edge but camber is the inside half of the tire.

sounds like a toe issue. incorrect toe specs will do way more damage than just camber.
