The rear axle is solid, so the rears can't go anywhere. They will remain at 0.

A little negative in the front will help out. Just depends on how much it is....

Trackbird is right on the rear being solid but you can get rear camber! However, not just out of the blue. Why do you want to fix the front camber negitive is ok? Get a alignment and run less negitive camber.

You are correct about the rear axle and camber....there are ways to heat it and "bend" the housing to get negative camber in the rear.

For clarification...

WHen you say "negative camber" you are talking about the tops of the front wheels pointing in (relative to the bottom of the wheel) towards the engine, correct?

And, why do you suspect that the suspension is "going negative"? Any extra info will help out....

Yes it is normal to get negative camber with these cars when you lower them. You can have it re-adjusted to zero camber if you would like, but 1 to 2 degrees of negative camber will make it handle better on corners and reduce front tire wear from hard cornering. If you don't like to corner fast, just take it to an alignment shop and ask for zero camber, that's the stock setting. They adjust it by losening a bolt on the front LCA and using a turnbuckle-like device to change the relationship of the LCA with the spindle.
