Question can the stock suspension's camber angle be adjusted? (1.5 degrees toe out)

can the stock suspension's camber angle be adjusted? (1.5 degrees toe out)
i just want to know if that is possible... i have OEM multi link suspension up front with a 2 1/2 inch drop and sway bar... while the back is stock control arm suspension with fabricated solid steel sway/bouncing tortion bar to lift it an inch higher...just wondering how to adjust the toe out angle and what should i use or do to unscrew it? i was thinking of removing the nut and bolt and putting it back together by welding and reinforcing it... need some suggestions...

you will need to look for adjustable arms for the 6th gen.
it will cost a lot to ship so try to find something more local? Manila is the other side of the globe for most US so look for europe sites?

they gain camber when lowered, as designed, in 6th gen cars

Buy a camber kit (not ebay crap) You can make up for some camber issues with stock components but 1.5 might be a stretch depending on how much off the car is naturally. More than likely the answer is no but you may get lucky. Don't cheap out, suspension is vital to the safety of your car.
