What did he adjust to change the camber? The service manual says camber is not adjustable. Did he raise the suspension by adjusting the spring preload?

So in order for this adjustment to be done, I'll need to install a camber arm ?

I'm lowering the car and want to get rid of that negative camber at the rear. I'm not lowered yet and still have it.. it's so obvious.

most cars will come with some kind of negative camber. my rear camber was around 2 degrees and that was still within spec
so we just dialed it back to 1.5 on both sides. I didnt go to 0 camber cuz that could negatively effect the driving characteristics of the car.
and also i went to 1.5 because i am lowered and didnt want to risk the tire hitting the quarter panel and rubbing on big dips in the road.
