I recently bought coilovers and significantly lowered my car. Therefore the camber has been affected. I don't like the amount of camber wear I am getting in the rear and I was wondering how adjustable the stock rear suspension is. I would like to be around -.5. Thanks.

It depends on how much you lowered your car and how much do you need to increase your camber to obtain -.5, I would suggest adjustable camber arms if you lowered it more than 1". Remember your going to spend money one way or the other, either by changing your tires prematurely (alignment wear) can be even more costly, Or by purchasing the adjustable arms. I would buy the arms.

I should have been more specific with my question. Can someone please tell me how you adjust the stock suspension to add less negative camber please.

Locate your upper control arms, the bolt that attaches it to the frame of the car has a oblong head on it. If you turn the bolt it will either increase the camber by pushing the upper control arm out or decreasing it by letting the upper arm come in. How much of an increase? I dont know, but im sure someone on here knows.
