Default Lowered 2002 LS430 camber adjustment questions

I bought the car a couple years ago and the previous owner lowered it. I put tires on it last year and talked to an alignment shop about afro-market adjustable control arms for the rear. I never got around to it, and my plan ro rotate every 1000 miles fell apart and well...life happens and here i am...about 18k on these tires and steel is starting to come through on the inside edge of the rear tires...so im gonna get new tires this week...that will be another thread cause I'm lost on what to put on this car, but I need to address this camber issue. Anyone have feedback on what to do? Get adjustable control arms for rear? I know there are plenty of afro-market choices out there. What about these funky camber bolts or are they only available for the front? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Lexus sells slightly shorter rear camber arms that would pull you in a little closer. They are bot adjustable though, so a set if something like the megan adjustable arms might be better

Check your fronts as well, mine is lowered on coil overs and in put in the megan rear camber arms. after 20k km the rears are fine bit my front inner edges are gone, it was running about 2.5 degrees negative camber on the front. I have just purchased these

Wow...935 bucks...they proud of them parts! My front is good...tires wore even just rears are shot...you wouldn't know it either. Tread depth measures 6/32 almost through the whole tire. Only reason I caught is I drop something under the car and when I was bent over to pick it up I saw the inside edges...I still haven't bought tires...not sure which to get
