Rear track rods, but they are primarily for toe, adjustment also affects camber, so a compromise may need to be found, if that makes sense?

This is best left to experts like WIM. The majority of centres who claim to do wheel alignment are not really experts. Too manhy times have I had my alignment done only to have to take it elsewhere because it was not right. Eventually I found somwhere that knew what they were doing. S**tFit were the worst closely followed by the dreaded H.
As already said, it can be done by adjusting the rear track rods but it is not something I would do because it will affect the tyre wear and handling whichever way you adjust it away from its recommended setting.
This should only be done if there is a real problem. Are the rear doughnuts worn at all?

You cannot directly adjust the camber, moving the toe will influence the camber but mildly.

If both the cambers are wrong then it's probable the coils have sagged, if it's just the one side then there's a bend, that's assuming all mechanical areas have been met.

Its both sides on the rear, its a company in Glasgow that have a 4 wheel Geometry machine, but because I have a full irmscher suspension kit on the car they don't have the correct settings, but i've emailed irmscher(UK) to get the settings
