I have a lot of squeaks and rattles but not from the springs, and my was adjusted all the way out and the rear camber alignment is still off. I was pretty much told just to keep rotating tires every 5,000 miles or so.

I also put on racinglines sway bar and endlinks. Don't know if that would affect the camber. I found camber kits but their only for the front. I'm changing the stock rims and tires in a couple of months so I want to fix this before.

i haven't heard of any camber kits for our cars, i'm actually surprised you found one for the front. when you lower a car you'll get some camber, it's just the nature of getting it lowered. alignment is the way to go, you should be able to get it atleast partially fixed, then to prevent bad tire wear just rotate your tires religiously. and I don't think the sway bar nor endlinks should change your camber at all

For awhile i thought i was the only one who had a camber but its a common thing when you lower your car. I got hit in the back and thought maybe it wasnt fixed right but ive seen that other people have had this same problem. the people who installed my wheels said they could stretch out the frame so there is not a camber... but then again they believe that the camber is due to my accident.

btw i dropped my car on H&R springs( almost the same thing as eibach) on 20's
