Uh, I wouldn't try and adjust the camber yourself. There's a lot more to an alignment than just camber - there's caster and toe.

The rear wheels don't come with a camber bolt from the factory, but any alignment shop with have them ($25-$30 a pair). You should definitely pay the $50-$70 and get a professional 4 wheel alignment though...

This is where the camber adjustment bolt would be on the strut (taken from an SVX ebay auction):

I have two complete sets of wheels & tires for my SVX and haven't noticed any problems with unusual tire wear.

I don't think it's a problem with SVXs per se, but a bad alignment on any car will cause your tires to wear more quickly in an uneven fashion...

From what I've heard, they work just fine on our cars. The camber on the front wheels of the SVX can be adjusted, but they're no camber bolts on the rear. These aftermarket bolts when installed will allow an alignment shop to dial in between -1.0 to -1.5 degrees of camber front & rear.
