AZ Negative Camber on Suspension

Im really new with all this, and im trying to learn as much as possible.
I was reading thru various threads here and i read that i could adjust the camber with the stock suspension. Is that right i would like to get some negative on my rear wheels and would like to know how to do it myself.
I know most of you guys are pretty experienced with all this and i hope you could show me how.

I really appreciate your help guys

you dont do it yourself. don't be cheap. go to an alignment shop and have them do it.

your car will drive like **** if you try to do it yourself.

It has a suspension section which explains how to align the car.

if you do that ^^ you will need the home alignment kit... I did it once with a tape measure/level and it was the best I could do and still didn't feel as good as a proper alignment done by a shop.

And alignment is what... $75 max? I pay $50 cash for mine since I have them done so often...

Check with Firestone. They use to offer lifetime alignments. I tried to do that several years ago since I change my alignment for track events, but they refused my car.

Many corporate type places won't align your car outside of factory spec for insurance reasons.
