Tire wear/ camber help with pics
So i need some help and opinions on which parts i need to fix my gs300. I lowered my car on hks coils 2 years ago and took it for an alignment and they said they couldn't adjust anything without additional parts. I was a moron and never bought the parts and now my tires are destroyed. I want to do it right this time. Here is my attached alignment sheet from when i first was lowered. Now mind you guys i did raise the car a good amount recently. Its way past saving anything at this point. I did some homework but im confused. The tech said i needed front and rear lower adjustable control arms. Do i need upper or lower is my question and which brand is the best/ affordable. I dont want to go through tires every 2 years. I was thinking these for the front and i need about 2 degrees not sure what i need for the rear? I did replace the front ball joints when i lowered the car thats about it.
What i was thinking megan upper adjustable and megan rear toe and track bars?

For the front theres not a ton you can do to fix things. To fix your front camber issues cheaply buy some SPC adjustable upper arms and that can probably get you closer to spec. It looks like the rear toe and camber is out. To fix the toe you'll need to buy some adjustable rear toe arms (Megan Racing sells some) and to fix the rear camber you'll need RCAs or adjustable rear arms. You could probably do either the lower or upper arms. I would recommend you talk to FIGs Engineering about that.

If you're only dropped 1.5" or less you'll have a little bit more camber but it shouldn't be way out of spec. I'm dropped about that much and I have -0.5 front and -1.0 rear. I would try another alignment place if they can't get it close since you should still be able to align it without problems if its not slammed

I might just toss the tires on and have them put it on the rack now thats its raised and see what it shows and come back and post what it says. If i dont need to spend 1500$ i would love not 2. Im going to just try the megan uppers for now and see if that saves me

got the front to -1 after the megan uppers. The toe is green and the rear is still -2.50 . Well see if they wear evenly now after all this and raising the car a bit. Ill keep you guys posted. I have a set of rcas for the rear i might put on eventually
