You probably don't need a camber kit. The rear suspension settings are adjustable using the stock components.

I don't know what you mean about a front camber kit. That is adjustable within limits as well. The only "camber kit" you can get for the front are top camber adjustment plates. There is nothing needed or available, afaik, for the rear. i used lowering springs for a few years and the stock adjustment bolts were fine for getting decent settings for the front and back. Unless you want camber at the front more than -1.5 degrees, you don't need anything else.

Ah. Just reread your post. Your tires probably went bad because you didn't get a re-alignment after installing the springs. That will do it!

Don't need a "kit" just get it aligned right.

The tires wore because of the toe adj....has nothing to do with the camber of the tire...adj the toe back to specs (0..if you want to be certain)...check camber is the same of both sides or put it where you want it...

I think someone also makes a better adj. bolt than the stock one for camber. Stock one is notched and will only do -1.5 & -2 deg. Aftermarket one is variable between the settings.

Yeah, true dat.
Alignment was out on mine (toe) straight from the dealership. Cost me a pair of tires to learn that too.
