Rear camber adjustment kits?

I'm looking to get some Tein Basic Coil Overs and do a pretty substantial drop. However, I've only been able to find a camber adjustment kit for the front, not for the rear. Do any rear adjustment kits exist? If not, how does that affect the camber?

The rear axle is one piece so as you lower the car the wheels stay the same relitive to the ground. NO camber correctons needed....also no alignment needed.

I'm bumping this for confirmation of what JSutter says above.

I'm 10,000 kms since my 1.5" drop and I can see inside wear on all 4 tires. Up front I'll get camber bolts ASAP, but the rear of course is non-adjustable.

So the question is.....does that odd rear suspension (not independant - not solid axle) change camber with height? It seems to me that it does and there isn't a darn thing I can do about it other than buy tires fairly often!

Make sure your beam is centered after lowering (Search for how-to). Only other thing you can do is get the beam bent to change the camber (in the Search again).

Yeah the alignment in the rear is static, only way to adjust it is to bend the beam or (possibly) get some full contact shims.
