Alignment Issues

Ok I have read a lot of the post on here and I would continue reading more but I need an answer fast since I need to get it done within the next 24hrs before I drive from Tampa, fl To Iowa.
I have an '04 TL that since day one has eaten the hell out of the inside of the rear tires. I took the car to Goodyear to get it done and they wanted $600 for a camber kit. I have been looking things up online and I have found 2 different options. 1- Upper adjustable control arm and 2- the lower camber arms. Im not sure which to get. It seems that if I do the lower I would need 2 per side and still seems as though they would fight against the rest of the suspension setup. Can Someone please help me out here. This isn't as easy as my '00 Accord was.

Why do you think you need a camber kit? Are you slammed or do you have any suspension mods?

If you don't have any suspension mods, you don't need a camber kit. Yeah, your rear camber may be out of spec as far as -2.0 (spec is -.05 to -1.5). Plenty of folks have rear camber settings of -1.6 to -1.9 and don't have any problems as long as rear toe is kept in spec.

What are your current settings?

How much was your camber and toe off?

More than likely you only need a rear camber kit. The link below shows a rear camber kit that includes 2 arms: one for toe and one for camber.

And if you need to order it you need a qty of 2.

For the front (which I doubt is that off unless you're slammed) you can get adjustable upper ball joints.
