is your suspension stock? does your tire appear to be making contact with the suspension? an easy way to add positive camber would be to add washers/spacers between the upper trailing arm link, and the body, then use longer bolts.

If it's that bad, the car may have been wrecked or have a broken or majorly worn suspension component.
Take some pics, the more the better

yea may also have bad or broken bushings in the rear suspension, check them for wear and check all of the trailing arm bolts to make sure they are tight and not broken. but something is seriously amiss

not sure if they are meant to be coupe or not they fit my sedan where are you located and they are decent for temporary replacements but probably not good enough for long term

the rear tire looks bad. Was it in an accident before? how is the suspension?

when i got it it was like that it rides pretty rough in the rear it almost feels like it's hitting the bump stops but it's not near low enough for that

i think it may have been hit too bc of the bondo flake and the body lines don't quite match up

if that is the case, you need to find out if your suspension is even straight. and see if your frame is align as it seems to be off.
