People say you can't adjust the rear camber of the 6G.
The original rear arms have a rod length adjuster and front ones are fixed for toe adjustments.
Like the two seen in this link:

So my thoughts are that the front and rear control arms are of the same fitments in bushes?

If so, then theoretically if I buy 4 of the rear arms I can shorten them reducing the camber?

After installation. Would they be adjustable without nodding it furthermore?

sorry what do you mean nodding it furthermore?

My idea is that once on you only need to get under the car and turn the buckles to extend or shorten the rods to reduce or gain more camber. Nothing else is needed to make this work. Just swap out the old with these.

Guessing typo? Modding versus nodding.

An issue with changing the camber via this method is that you're forcing the entire strut assembly to sit at an angle, which means all of the stress is going to be on the strut rob and the relatively thin metal holding it in the strut mount -- which is not designed to operate at that angle. It's why you see camber plates replace strut mounts, or why camber is more often adjusted by using asymmetrical bolts to angle the knuckle while the strut remains straight.
