Default Rear camber adjustment STI - can't be done???

my local tyre fitter said you cant adjust the rear camber on my 2004 UK STI.
I find this hard to believe especially as the fronts are camber adjustable via the top cam bolt on the shock tower.

Any ideas?

My 2002 has eccentric bolts on the transverse arms IIRC, just need to slacken and turn, then tighten.

But I MAY be wrong...

Generally,you need to fit rear camber bolts,as their only fitted on the front.

Although the rear camber is "fixed" (unless modded) it is possible to lean on the play in the strut to hub carrier bolts sideways as they are tightened one way or the other to try and get rear camber from side to side as equal as possible.
