"another" IRS alignment question, sorry.

I hear everyone talk about dialing "out" a bit of toe-in on the rear of these cars for more life out of the rear tires. How about getting rid of a bit of negative camber so the rear tire sits on the road al least a little bit more perpendicular, for straight-line acceleration traction. If I happen to make black marks on the roadway "purely accidental" they obviously sit on the insides of both rears, and the outsides barely leave a mark.

You will need aftermarket parts to adjust rear camber. There are adjustable upper links that are available but don't know who makes them. Also K-MAC in Australia makes adjustable bushings for the rear.

No factory camber adjustment in the rear (or front for that matter). You need rear upper adjustable control arms. ACG in San Diego has them. For the front you need camber (crash) bolts. Any good alignment shop should have those. I've heard KMac's are not reliable.
