Are there any camber kits available for the 9th gen corolla?
If not, what's the next best option? Shims?

Thanks.

Why do you need a camber kit?

My mechanic told me there was a slight negative camber in my rear. Dont remember which one but he advised I get it fixed.

Side note: I think i remember you from 9gc. Werent you a mod?

Go for a full alignment which then they will shim.

For the rear all you can do is have a shim installed. Be careful though it's not normal for the rear camber to be out of whack on these. If a mis-calibrated alignment machine was used it could simply be giving the incorrect readings.

I've fixed many, many issues like this by REMOVING shims that were previously installed. My theory is that the shop who did the last alignment didn't calibrate their equipment regularly so they though the angles were off when in fact they really weren't.

How far out is it? If it's right on the line of spec (or even .1/.2 degrees out) then shimming it might not be worth it, especially if the tire wear in the rear isn't abnormal.
