lowerd and need some advice
Ok I put some Spring Tech Springs on which is supposed to be 1.8" drop, it looks lower though. I took it to have it aligned and the guy said that there is no way to adjust the rear to fix them. What do I need to fix the camber? I have looked at some of the camber kits and they are more than my springs were, what do you guys recommend?
I dont like for my car to be bowlegged.

You don't need a camber kit. Got mine aligned no problem at Tire Kingdom after putting on H-tech's which are 1.9"/1.5" drop.
Like the captain said shop around. Make sure the shop has a tech who has experience with lowered cars. Find out his name and request that guy do the alignment.

wow, must be nice getting off-brand springs, that is a minimum of 2.5" drop, there's no way that's less than a 2" drop in the rear.
From the amount of adjustment in the rear stock (no more than 2°) even if you tried using longer bolts it won't do enough good from the look of it, if I had to eye-ball it, I'd say you're running about 3° of negative camber in the rear of that, and your toe is off by about half a degree, you really need to get that aligned to fix the toe before you kill your tires.
Any shop can align it in the rear and get it close to stock specs, but from the looks of it, you won't be able to get back to stock specs without a camber kit, but STOCK CAMBER SPECS ARE UNNECESSARY - You'd be perfectly fine running a degree and a half or so of camber in the rear just by having them max out the adjustments, I know that's what I'm running.

I just installed a set of S-Techs on TRD dampers last weekend-- they were nowhere near that low. The car I did had about 1 finger all around, the pics by the OP look like he's tucking that much. 2.5" drop at least.
Fake springs?
