Where the lower control arms meet the rear subframe. That eccentric bolt adjusts camber. You need to adjust camber and toe together. Adjust one and the other is affected.

if your looking from the back of the vehicle, neg camber would make it look like the top of the wheels are tipped in, toe would be the front of the wheel is either facing inward towards the vehicle, or outwards away from the vehicle...kinda diff to see if you dont know what your looking for

You're able to achieve negative camber with stock control arms. But those probably will allow for more than the factory arms would give you. How much negative camber do you want?

You really do not need to go -3 unless you have some hella flush wheels and you are trying to clear fenders.

However for performance reasons you do not need to be anywhere close to negative 3 in the rear. You can achieve -1.5 or 2 on the oem stuff just fine
