i changed mine to a negative camber by placing washers where the rear hub bolts on to the rear beam. I used 1mm washers on the top two and 3mm on the bottom, it will affect tyre wear. Mine was a bit skitish on the back end round corners as ive stripped mine out, but since i did this it goes round corners much better.

undo the hub bolts and slide old hacksaw blade in where you want it ( bottom edge)

it will properly rub more if you start messing with the camber, i had to then use spacers on the back wheels to stop the inside of the wheel catching my coilovers due to the altered angle of them
