Question Lowered Car: Rear Alignment Issues

When i bought my ti, the previous owner had lowered the car with some H&R lowering springs, anyways the lowering affected the alignment of the rear wheels, they were toed in and the camber was awful as well. When we had to redo the shocks on the car, we also modified the rear trailing arm mounting bracket where it attaches the trailing arm to the rear axle carrier so that we could adjust the rear wheels. We modified the mounting bracket by welding on some brackets that take the place of the original brackets and can control the toe and the camber via the adjustment of two bolts. Did anyone else have this problem, and if so, how did you fix it?
