I am getting very bad uneven tire ware both front and back. I installed adjustable camver plates. What do I need for the rear tires. My mini is lowered did not have this issue before I lowered it.

Get the hotchkis h-sport control arms. I know Way Motor Works has a bunch in stock.

BTW, you only need a set of lower arms. And don't get ones with heim joints, they can be really noisy.
