If you want to get the rear back into a decent range then yes, rear camber kit and toe bolt. Some will say you do not need either one, it's all a matter of how fast do you want to replace your tires. But every car is going to be different when it comes to an alignment, for instance the current condition of the tires can effect an alignment.

Sorry for new topic, but do you need to get an alignment after you install the rear camber arms? I already got an alignment after installing coilovers...

IMHO you should have an alignment any time you make a change to the suspension.

but better give a weeks time to settle the springs/coilover etc.

For camber arms for sure as your toe and camber is more out then by installing the springs

Ryan, it would probably be safe to have both front & rear alignment kit at the time of the alignment. That way, if you end up needing any kit, you wouldn't have to come back to the shop. Otherwise, you could always return it.
