Default Camber kits question

Guys, I have lowering springs, and I see the tires that came with the car has more wear on the inside if the tires. I'm taking it for a alignment. Are there front and rear camber kits available or just fronts?

How many degrees can you adjust with the front kit?

Here are my settings
front left camber -1.3 / caster 4.9
right front camber -1.2 /caster -4.7
Toe left front 0.68 // right 0.16

Left rear camber -1.1 toe 0.01
right rear camber -1.0 toe 0.31
left total toe 0.32

Adding the Eibach lowering kit require a 1 degree alignment adjustment. So, I have the TVT camber kit coming from the original owner of my car. I guess I can go with the NeedsWings front kit for the front if they can provide the 1 degree adjustment.

FP, I was able to get within spec on the front using the MB/Chrysler "Collision Kit" bolts. The rears require MikeR's adjustable arms or equiv. I made a pair of my own.

If you buy TVT-style, make dammed sure they are not aluminum. Someone from our forum had one FAIL at the Dragon recently. Bad mojo.

And the lowered arms may interfere with the rear sway bar. I cut mine into an hourglass shape to provide a little clearance. There are photos in my old gallery. If you can't find them-PM me and I'll email them to you.

If you canhold off for just a bit longer, Ground Control will have something for you.

For the front? That is where the real issue is. The best solution would be adjustable upper arms. The K-Mac bushings work, but the adjustment is limited. I can only dial back to -1.7 degrees in the front. An adjustable ball joint like the Crown Vic, which allows caster and camber to be adjusted independently.
