I just had my car aligned by a local tire shop and was told the rear camber is not adjustable. The initial rear camber was -2.07/-2.09 (L/R) and final was -2.08/-2.03 (L/R). The car is a 2014 Rex with 19" 429s, new tires, H&R springs, and new rubber perches / boots. My prior tires EP600s lasted about 34,000 miles and had mild camber wear on the rears.

Is the rear adjustable? Is the additional negative rear camber okay?

Here is the entire alignment report:

Yes. Toe and Camber can be adjusted.

I have a 2014 Rex and had it done by Firestone. In my experience, bad rear camber alignment makes a significant difference in how squirrelly the car is at interstate speeds. I didn't have tire wear issues at the time I had mine aligned but had the rear tires replaced. Of course, if you have non-stock springs, your service guy may be telling you it is out of travel.
