Ok I plan on lowering my car 2.25" all around and I already have a front camber kit. My question is are these http://trendgears.com/ebay/TacoTacoN...ord9097-Bu.jpg an "OK" option for correcting camber in the rear. I have read about using washers to shim out the rear upper control arm and I am not entirely comfortable with that option. If these are not a "ok" choice then what should I really get?

Those will work fine AFAIK, however, the washers also work just fine and are perfectly safe. You can buy the kit with extended bolts and all or you can piece your own kit together with washers and bolts from the hardware store. The only pressure on the rear upper control arm is a push/pull force on the two mounting bolts so this method is just as safe as oem and much cheaper.My Member's Ride Thread

Well those rear camber kits are adjustable which is good if you have adjustable suspension like coilovers or something. Then u could adjust it whenever u adjust ur suspension. I've never used coilovers always had lowering springs so my suspension is pretty set so the washers where always a good choice for me. But I suppose if u need new rear bushings and all then it would be a good choice. And having the adjustable rear camber can't be a bad thing, even if u don't really need the adjustablilty.

I don't know anything about the quality of that kit, but the design appears to be good. As long as it's not made from crap parts, then it should be fine.
The washer trick is perfectly safe if you use automotive grade hardware. If you just use general hardware store bolts, you'd be introducing a potential weak spot to your suspension.
Honestly, I'd be up in the air about it... in fact, i am... because my rear tires are cupping, and I need to correct the camber before I buy a new set!

The problem with those adjustable arms is their straight shaft design may cause them to bind against the top of the knuckle where the upper ball joint mounts when the suspension is at full upward travel. If you're going to be dropped significantly this may become an issue. The oem upper arms are bent to prevent this binding. I think Megan Racing makes an adjustable upper that has a bend in it you may want to check out.My Member's Ride Thread

SPC is usually good... some of the best you can get for our cars. Megan Racing is generally a knockoff company, but I've never heard bad about their rear kits.
