so are the problems everyone is having with rear suspension needing a camber kit is just if you're lowering your vehicle, or does the 3g tl's need the kit even if you roll stock suspension. If I'm going to continue having problems after changing all the rear arms ,, struts, and bumpstops I will just get another car.thanks for anyone advice.

Where have you read that "everyone is having problems with rear suspension"?

There is no reason you should have any issues with the stock suspension, unless your car was hit and poorly fixed, or your alignment is completely out of whack.
Acura didn't sell a car for 5 model years with an uncorrected suspension problem that can be easily fixed by a camber kit.
Also, camber kits are cheap. IF that was the issue, you're willing to sell the car instead of investing $150? You'll likely lose more than $150 by selling. And why are you replacing your entire suspension? Those suspension parts you listed are way more expensive than a camber kit. Me thinks you need to do some problem solving first, before just replacing a bunch of random parts that likely aren't even the problem to begin with.

As TacoBello said, if you have stock suspension and your alignment is way off, you may have other issues. If it is just a matter of getting an alignment, our Ingalls camber kit would likely get you back within spec. We sell both the rear arms for one side for $80.82. You would need a quantity of 2 for both sides so your total would be $148.06.
These would allow for you to adjust between -1.5 and +3 degrees of camber and toe.

That would work, but the bigger question is why is the stock suspension out so much? The camber kit might just a be a bandaid for a bigger overall issue.
I think first and foremost the car should be taken in for an alignment. From there, start considering options...

Thank you ,.iI took it to a shop and they showed me all of my control arm bushings were loose.jloose.just can't figure out why 4 other shops couldn't find that out, they just kept offering alignments.

Probably were hoping you weren't car savvy and they could just keep taking you... Glad you figured out the problem
