How Do You Adjust the Rear Camber on a Boxster? (1999+)

Has anybody adjusted the camber on the rear of their Boxster after putting lowering coils on? My tires are riding on the inside of the tires now. I've looked and don't see a easy way to adjust the camber. Am I not seeing something?

Go to the Cayman Club and do a search. There was a recent post on adjusting camber. Depending on the amount of negative camber, it is not a bad thing, especially in the front.

Yes, see the Cayman Club post. Rear camber is set primarily by the control arm eccentric. The rear toe, in turn, is the relative difference in lengths adjusted by offsets on the control arm and track rod. Unless you are prepared to do the rear toe, I would recommend taking it to an alignment shop because you can't just adjust camber without throwing the toe completely off into the weeds.

Do you know how that post on the CaymanClub reads? I just visited the site, but can't seem to find that subject talked about.

About the middle of the thread, one link for camber and another for toe:

Bottom line though there is an eccentric bolt on the rear control arm. You adjust camber there. I can get about -3.0 degrees of camber in the rear on my lowered '00 S while still maintaining slightly negative toe.
