There will be some camber even stock. Depending on how much you lowered it, you may consider leaving it alone. Just make sure the toe is within spec. ever seen how the rear wheels of astock porsche are cambered? It helps to keep a flatter contact patch when turning. Flatter contact patches give you more grip.

your stock suspension has an ecentric busing at the inner end of the upper arm to adjust the samber up to + or - 0.5deg if I remember correctly. if you need more adjustment than that ou can try slotting the lower arms bolt slot, but I dont reccomend this....

other solutions? Whiteline subframe/camber bushings, adjustable upper arms from TEIN/CUsco/BAttle-Version...

If all else fails, I've seen Eibach sell their camber kits for as low as $25 USD. Surely you could pick one up.

but that kit is for the front wheels, isn't it the rear wheels you have to worry about? the fronts i heard were adjustable already from the factory.

no they arent, but you cna get a northstar allignment cam bolt and fix fromt camber problems, even without buying PBM's. the rear has +- .5 degress adjustability stock....not nearly enough to help severly lowered cars, although you can get them to fall into spec if you know what your doing...-chet
