Toe eccentric flip for camber change?

I thought I saw a thread somewhere where a person had a problem with tool little rear camber, and it ended up having to do with the rear toe eccentric.

Question is: is flipping the toe eccentric a workable solution for making camber more positive? It seems like it would lower the pivot point of the rear arm, which would have a similar effect of decreasing the dogbone length.

I don't even think you can flip it over.

i thought the only point to that was so you could change the bolt without removing the subframe in the future

I don't think he meant changing it around so that the nut's on the outside, but making it so the washer is offset to the bottom.

When I put coilovers in I had way too much rear camber, one side I was able to fix with that toe adjuster but the other side we ended up slotting the bolt hole then welding in a couple washers to strengthen it back up. You can't just flip anything around, the other option is the Racing Beat camber adjuster or just make the same thing yourself.

Thanks. I started looking at the assembly and saw that you couldn't change where the bolt went through.
