You want the HellaGay look, you have to pay the HellaGay price.
Poked , stretched and slammed is expensive to be trendy.

^ LMAO. Let's be nice guys.
Look into SPL/SPC rear camber arms, the fronts are recommended too. But if you're penny pinching, you can get away without them.
You can adjust your camber within OEM specs (depending on the stretch of your tire and if it rubs, etc.)
You can buy higher tread tires.
And what Boomer said, read that sticky thread. Before I dropped my car I made sure to read it, then re-read in more detail then do a search.

Also i am getting a tapping sound in the rear. Is it my brake line getting hit by the tire or could it be the shock ? we made sure everything was tight already

*Aftermarket Front A Arms
*Aftermarket Rear Camber Arms
*roll your rear fenders [so you can get into spec range without/minimal rubbing]
*Aftermarket Toe Bolts
*Lockout Washers [not necessary, but will ensure your rear camber alignment doesnt go anywhere]
FYI: your Lower Control Arm and Radius Arm bushings are going to blow due to the lowering of your vehicle. They're probably already blown by now. Suggest replacing before alignment.
Here's some info about your bushing choices:

You will no longer need the eccentric bolts due to you getting the aftermarket camber arms, which have far more camber range.
The purpose of deleting the eccentric bolt is to eliminate the ability of that bolt from moving under high stresses, which in turn would throw off your alignment.

We sell rebuilt arms that are powdercoated and have the bushings pre-installed, with a core exchange program

The lockout washers replace the eccentric camber bolts [off center bolts that are at the end of the camber arm].

Second - why would one choose spc eccentric bolts over your product ? and would i need one pair or two pair ?
