dont think you can adjust the rear camber either, even with coilovers. Have you got any pictures of the car from the back?

Yes the rear windows do already have a very light smoked tint but want something a little bit darker.

Yea i know you cant adjust the camber on the rear seen as there a solid axel, i think its just the picture that makes the camber look out as it looks totally fine in the flesh.
