Are rear stock camber arms adjustable?

I recently lowered my car and my rear camber is uneven. The driver side is -3.1 and the passenger side is -2.7. I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the passenger side more negative so it can be more even? Thanks.

Holy crap! 3 degrees of negative camber!

The rear of the car has some adjustability for camber, but it maxes out if you drop the car beyond around an inch.

Put a camber kit on there to bring it back in to spec and not wreck your tires. How low are you?

This information has been discussed thoroughly on the forum. There is minimal adjustment on the rear and none on the front. You will not be able to get anywhere in the ballpark of OEM specs starting where you are at. You need a camber kit.

Yes, if you buy rear camber arms that are adjustable.

Wat.

You want *more* negative camber? It'll max out both ways. It all depends where you're at. If you want more negative camber, then yes, you can probably camber it out more. Similarly, a camber kit can push it - shudder - *more* out of spec.


I hope you realize you are going to be rapidly chewing up your tires by running them like this.

Honestly, at this point it doesn't matter. You are wayyyyyyy out of spec anyways. You aren't going to gain anything by evening out the camber. The handling and tire wear are going to be equally as compromised as they are now. I don't even think you would really be able to notice the difference of 0.4 degrees camber by the naked eye so you won't gain anything aesthetically either.
