Default Rear Camber Issues!!

Im having some rear camber issues and im looking for a solution, i dont know if theres any way to adjust the rear control arms or toe and everywhere i read online says nobody makes a camber kit for the 1gen GS!!

will the supra or sc300/400 suspension work?

if you have any solutions plzz let me know, thanks

i have heard that MK2 gs300 ones work, and there are adjustable ones available for htat.

either that, or adjust the ride height to something sensible. and there is adjustment, i'm as low as that on 18's with to small of a profile, and my rear camber is about -01 or so

from experience!.. if your in SD take it to: Trueline! if your close to Orange County take it to platinum! the money you will save on tires will be enough to justify quality work! goodluck!!

with the threads showing, a tire company wont be allowed to flip them at this point. But with your next tires just keep an eye on them and flip them before they get too low, also explain you camber (only using 1 side of the tire) issue with the person helping you and hopefully they'll realize flipping them will still be safe to use on the road (not the ones pictured though). I thought I've seen a c.k. for the rears, but it was super expensive. Haven't been on here looking around much lately though.
