Camber adjust on rear wheels?

Is it possible to adjust the camber of the rear wheels? I have the car lowered and it seems like there is to much camber in the rear.

I haven't done this (yet) myself, but my understanding is:

Trailing arm up = negative camber

Trailing arm down = positive camber

Wow I didn't realize that the tow and camber could be adjusted. Does anyone know how many degrees the rear camber can be adjusted? Also what are the generally accepted rear camber settings for a track/street car?

Caution: The toe adjustment hole and camber eccentric bolt are switched in that diagram.

Good to know :-P Are there any special tools required to set the camber?

Hey bazar01 I appreciate the help. Now I can lower the car a bit and keep the camber from going nuts

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to go to get some rear eccentric bolts for my 1987 944? They seem really hard to find...
