AWD aftermarket Camber kits

Hi All, Im looking to purchase rear camber kit and front camber kits for my 07 Lexus GS350 AWD ( performance brand) , after doing some research alot of options are typically only available for RWD. Can any of the AWD people that have these suspension upgrades help me with brands or part numbers that you went with? So far I looked at TruHart, and Megan Racing. Also I read the only available options for the front are the SPC adjustable ball joints for the front camber. Are there any other brands that are suggested?

Had my car aligned recently and didn't like the rear camber numbers. Found these parts from Northstar Manufacruring afterwards. My alignment shop uses this brand but hasn't installed them on a Lexus yet. I couldn't get a torque wrench up in there so I didn't install them yet. I just did plenty of other work on the car.

My last set of rear tires were worn too much on the inside. The alignment print out shows RR -1.4 degrees, LR -1.0 degrees. Adjustable rods allow +/- 1.50 degrees adjustment. Rear camber is not adjustable from the factory.

you have the rear upper spc camber kit? Or you meant the front..? If so I didn't know they made one for the rear. Would you have a website for this part? Also a newb question. For the rear camber kit, would I need both upper and lower for them to adjust, say for instance tucking wheels?

I replaced
rear shocks
rear Spc top chamber arms
rear toe arms
rear trailing arms
rear lower control arms
front main rear bushing

The problem went away when I replaced the rear lower control arms, and the front rear bushings.

If I had to do it all over again I would have replaced all the bushings on the car at once, atleast then I would have saved closed to 2grand on tires. Also every alignment should thought they cured the problem, so its most likely the bushings shift at load.
