I looked hi and low for some kind of camber adjustment device for the rear. I even bought the red pin wheel kit but after receiving it I brought it back after seeing what it looks like.
What I am finally doing to correct this is buying them machining new rear stub axles, $135 delivered online plus machining. The axle has a thick steel plate that can afford to loose a sliver of material to bring it into proper alignment, I am having to shave it for a 1 degree camber change.
You could have your car put on a alignment rack to see exactly how much camber and/or toe you have now to machine the new axle to within specs. Afterwards you can just bolt on the new shaved axle and be on your way. There should be no reason to put the car back on the rack except for peice of mind... I am saving my origional axles in case I ever go back to the stock setup.

Exactly how I would do it, machine a skim off the stub axles.
