You could be a little under or over the limit for negative camber. Some shops will finagle the strut bolts to tweak it but I doubt pepboys would go to the trouble.

Do you want your tires to last longer? Do you hate dealing with side to side rotation? If so, you'll want the new upper control arms. It shouldn't take very long to make up the cost for the arms. I think you should be able to find them for less $$.

post up your alignment specs?

having more camber than normal shouldn't be to bad, its the toe that matters. and I bet your toe is in spec.

Yes, I have the camber arms front and back now. Let me put tire wear into perspective ...

I bought 4 brand new tires when I got my wheels. At the same time, I installed rear camber kit (because the front kit was not available). Since then, I've already gone through my first pair of front tires due to camber wear ... and yet I'm still on the original pair of rear tires.

I also got the front camber kit when I replaced my front tires. I always read about people saying added camber in front is OK for daily driving, but based on my personal experience, I would always recommend getting the front camber kit.
