I had my car on the alignment rack today and this is how far it is out. Please let me know what kits I should get for the front's and rear. I don't know anything about the camber and the kits so please be as specific as possible.

Left Front = - 1.7
Right Front = - 2.1
Left Rear= - 2.3
Right Rear= - 3.7
 
Just get a rear kit if anything..

Front Camber:
Short of removing the springs and bumpstops you cannot have too much -ve camber in the front of a 2G. Anything under -3* is fine as far as tyre wear is concerned, just make sure your toe is correct (i.e no more than 1/32" out).

Rear Camber:
It needs fixing no matter what ride height, from a handling perspective. Stock there is considerably more -ve in the rear than in the front - that needs reversing, less -ve in the rear than the front. The rear also gains more -ve camber faster than the front, which pushes the car into understeer at the limit, rather than loose.

The best solution is offset bushings front and rear, rotated in opposite directions, shortening the effective length in the front and increasing the effective length in the rear.

The practical solution is GM alignment shims and longer bolts in the rear, setting the rear -ve camber about .5 - .75 less than whatever the front ends up at.

Set the rear toe at zero, set the front toe to a hair out, just past zero.
