Is the rear suspension's camber adjustable?
It seems my car has (visually) too much negative camber but many IRS cars seem that way to me.
Thanks!

Yep! Uses an eccentric "cam" bolt at the rear lower arm to knuckle joint (joint number 3 and bolt number 10 in the picture below). They are often very seized and I'd advise trying to squirt some WD40 as much into it as you can before adjusting it.
These don't provide much adjustment, but usually the issue is not being able to get enough negative camber, so I'm sure adjusting for more positive shouldn't be an issue.

The non m cars can only seem to get min c2 degrees of camber. You can dial in a bit more towards 3 degrees but anything more you’ll need adjustable arms. I wanted less than 2 degrees really but due to the design of the suspension you can’t get much less without affecting the toe setting also.
