"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.
