The most important is your toe adjustment you can ride with a -2.7 camber in the rear as long your toe is close to zero tire wear would be minimal.

But if your toe is way out or in even within a spec camber number your ride would still eat up your tires and runs horrible.

So you just missed the most important piece of the puzzle. There is a reason why this comes with the kit. Like salt and pepper! They go together.

^ to add to the above and summarize an important concept for OP, toe and camber change simultaneously.

I've seen a new pair of tires getting chewed up in less than 2 weeks of normal driving due to toe being off, no exaggeration. Best of luck on the stock bolt, it'll be great if that gets you back within stock spec

So you would suggest the camber bolt kit but skip the grinding?
