Long story short, my rear shocks and struts are blown. I may take a peak to confirm what the mechanic said.

Regardless, I'm now looking to replace all 4 since the dumbass before me cut the springs. My question is if I need camber arms in the rear so the tires can seat properly to the road? Can all 4 be set toax height and the car be leveled?

This is NOT for style. I track my car a few times out of the year so tuning advice is appreciated.

I will try to install these myself. They are not too hard, correct? I've done fronts before but the rears suck.

No. The stock camber arms will work. If you need to adjust camber, there is the ability to do that. If you want, there are a few different pieces which will lock the adjuster once set, but you don't need to get new arms just to change the alignment.

Thanks, I appreciate your insight. Gonna inspect the rear myself and see if I was gonna get scammed. Adjust and then hit the track.

If you want to install an aftermarket kit that locks the adjuster in its slot, these are probably what I would choose. https://hotpart.com/product/2015-present-ford-mustang-rear-camber-arm-adjustment-kit-304-stainless/

These are the arms I personally use (except mine are black, like any reasonable human might choose for their suspension). They've got several nice features, but they are not necessary to adjust camber. https://aadperformance.com/collections/mustang/products/2015-mustang-s550-rear-camber-teailing-arm

Only time you need camber arms if you want to run more or less camber than what the stock adjustment can do (FWIW, it will keep you pretty much around stock geometry unless you slam the car).
