Do I need a rear camber kit? Rear camber is out of spec, even after alignment. Left is -1.9 and Right is -2.3. The normal range is -1.5- -0.5 Toe is near zero on both sides front and back. Front toe was at -.32 but was corrected to 0.02, I must have hit a huge pothole in the last 4 years that I don't remember to be that far out of range. Thanks!

Wait. You haven't had an alignment in 4 years?

Nope. Just put new shocks and springs on 2 weeks ago, the tires have about 6k miles on them

What springs?

Get a rear camber kit.

I know that some toe is OK, but how far out of range can the toe be before it's advisable to get a camber kit? I don't want the inner part of the tire to wear down extremely fast, even with proper tire rotation.

You have it backwards. Some camber is fine but the closer to 0 the toe is, the better.

Camber doesn't kill tires as quickly as toe does.

Sorry, you're right.

Toe has been corrected, but I do have some camber. How much out of spec can it be before a camber kit is recommended?

It really depends. 2 degrees really isn't all that bad. Keep an eye on tire wear and maybe 5-10k miles down the road you'll want to opt for a camber kit if you feel you are throwing away too much tire.
