Is it possible to put a few degrees of positive camber on my rear wheels . It has no fancy suspention just abjustable coilovers with adjustable ride height.

Its for my rear engined polo which I used for drag racing. When I launch the wtop of the wheels move closer together so want a few degrees of positive camber to counter act this which will hopefully give me more grip.

If it has the normal Polo axle, you should be able to space the stubs at the top to get more positive.

If you set it so yu get the optimum geometry under squat, remember that it will go back to positive camber when you stop accelerating and this will reduce rear end grip, make sure you're prepared to deal with any high speed stability issues that this causes.
