rear camber adjsutable?

Hello, Hopefully this is not a redundant post. but when I took my car in for an alignment the tech said the camber in the rear is not adjustable.. but I was thinking that if you turn both the front and rear cam bolts a certain way that you can get SOME camber adjustment along with the toe adjustments.

Is the tech pulling my leg? or is there really no adjustment for camber in the rear?

Also, are there any aftermarket arms that fit the RA for (more) rear camber adjustability?

Thanks in advance!

Yea I think its adjustable.. otherwise there'd be no way to do an alignment in back. In fact I just adjusted the rear a bit myself because i had a small camber problem... Still trying to figure out why I'm getting uneven wear on the inside of the tire when my camber settings are lined up with stock. But I went to adjust it and it should be fine now.

how much is good for daily street driving and racing. Previous owner ran -2.5 in the front with no negative consequences on tire ware during the summer. but how much is okay for the rear?

camber doesn't kill your tires too much, It's the toe that really kills it, because you are actually scrubbing as you drive straight down the road while camber will only scrub when you are cornering
