i Just picked up my car and it has aftermarket coilovers. Front alignment is perfect, but my rears have too much negative camber and currently destroyed the current tires. All other setup is stock, my question is can I increase the rear height on the coilovers to correct the negative camber? Or am I looking at going aftermarket adjustable rear upper control arm bushing to correct this issue?

show us the camber on the wheel. there's also a cam bolt on the control arms and toe arms. or you can take it to the alignment shop and let them tell you whats wrong

I took it to an alignment shop earlier today and they told me to either source a a aftermarket rear upper control arm to allow adjusting or go back to stock struts.
i would go back to stock struts if I can find the one fronts and rears for my evo 6
was this car in an accident? you might want to find another alignment shop and get a 2nd opinion. maybe another evo6 owner will chime in here, i dont own one. but I dont think the struts affect the alignment unless the car is super low. on the later models we have a bit of adjustability. see if the bolts holding any of the suspension arms to the frame look like this. while youre there maybe check if it has damaged/offset bushings, bent arms/brackets etc
Thanks, I’ll get a second opinion. I don’t think it’s been involved in an accident. Both side of the rear have the same exact issue and negative camber is basically identical numbers.
I have my sources trying to locate oem shocks to convert the suspension back to stock
camber is adjusted on the lower arms...
from the pic car looks way too low, and rear suspension on the evo has a lot of camber gain... and this is what you got..
