The only rear camber adjustment you're going to get is with shims. There is absolutely no adjustment with the beam axle. The factory setup has about 1.7-2.0 degrees negative in the rear. If anything you want to dial out some of that as the front is flat from the factory.
 
I haven't gotten a chance to look at the rear suspension for the CR-Z, but it is very similar to the GE8 Fit.

On the GE8 Fit, Honda went away from the bolt-on hub found on the GD Fit, which is where you can install the shims to alter the camber. The only way to change the rear camber on the GE, is to buy the JDM rear axle beam, or cut/weld.

Looking at the parts list for the rear brake, and axle it looks like it is all one piece (the hub and hub mount cannot be cambered, as the shaft the hub sits on is one solid piece with the beam axle).



The hub, #3 in this VVV diagram, would just slide onto the axle (#1 in ^^^ diagram).



Not saying there might not be other/future solutions, but that's what I know.

So it's set up like most rear swing arm/axle setups? Hopefully something hits the market soon, but i bet it'll be a while judging by the amount of time it has taken for other parts to hit the market. Thanks for the image break down!:thumbsup:
