Need some help with camber kit(Alignment measurements included)

I just put some Tein H techs on my 06, I'm running Rays 99B's 18x8.5 +30 and 245/45/18's. I went for an alignment today and they could only do so much because I need camber kits for the front and rear. They also said my rear ends were frozen solid and couldn't do anything with them. I have a hard pull to the right on the highway, looking at my numbers would that be the reason why? I'm clueless when it comes to alignments etc. So it looks like I need to replace my "ends" in the rear, I'm assuming if I buy the necessary camber kits it will replace whatever needs to be replaced? Which kits should I get to correct my numbers?

Thanks for any help you can gave me.

The only thing that we can adjust on the TL is toe front and rear with stock suspension. The alignment shop was referring to your toe adjustment in the rear being frozen. I would look at your caster on the front right it seems really off and that could be pointing to a bent suspension piece on your front end. I wouldn't worry about your chamber at your measuremts, negative chamber isn't a bad thing espically the range you are in. The toe is what's important to extend the life of your tires, if you are picky about numbers or want to dial in your suspension for track time then get a chamber kit for the front and rear.

Thank you. What would I need to change in order for the toe to be within spec? Would the camber kits replace the parts that are frozen? I know something is up with the front of the car, my tire rubs in the front inner fender. I bought this car used last month and on the carfax it was in both a Honda and Acura dealership for suspension issues twice in 12 days. If you had to guess, what would you think would be bent for these symptoms to arise?

Fix the rear toe, you need a pair of new OEM cam bolts and plate/washers. The tires will be fine as long as the toe spec is almost zero-ed out front and rear. You should still adjust the rear camber to under -1.5 degree. Use SPC upper adjustable arms.

The Ingalls rear alignment arms allow for adjustment of camber and toe which would make them ideal for your situation. We have them available for $80.82 per side. you would want to order a quantity of two.

Ingalls Alignment Kit - Excelerate Performance - Japanese and European Performance Specialists!!

For the front, a pair of ball joints will help bring your camber back within spec.

STAY AWAY FROM INGALLS. Read the J-power review thread and look at the evidence pictures from me.
