Rear Camber Correction (washers)

I've done a search and didn't find the specifics I was looking for. I have pro-kit springs with KYB-AGX on a 3.0. I noticed my rear tires were wearing on the inside. The fronts are fine. Which kind of makes sense because the front isn't as low. Anyway, can someone give me specific instructions on how to correct the rear camber with washers. I'm low on cash and want to save my tires.
Thanks

first things first, did you take your car in for an alignment? They might be able to get it within specs...

no they can correct ur cambers without a camber kit if its slightly drop like the pro-kit....u said u notice wearing from the inside rear? usually its just the front....the back hardly wear from the inside unless u have a lot of weight in the trunk....also...usually with pro-kit u dont even need a camber kit.

I did have the car aligned when I had the springs installed four months ago. By the way, I bought the springs and struts used, so I didn't think they would settle too much. so where exactly do the washers go?

there's 2 bolts holding the upper arm....the washer would be place behide the arm mount to push the upper arm control out making the top of the wheel further out.

thanks I'll give a try probably this weekend. I'll eventually get camber kits all around and go for a lower drop. My money's going toward tint and exhaust this week though.
