Rear camber isn't adjustable, unless you have something there to adjust it.

Toe can affect camber, so maybe they don't want to give you too much toe in so that your right rear tire won't go to positive camber?

Ok, I can understand that, but...
Are these values bad / can I feel it in my spirited canyon runs or on tyre wear?
If I buy those rear excentric bolts as mentioned by Chris1, is it possible to correct it?
Is it something worth spending more money on?

They told me it is in the tolerance, so it is OK. I do not beleive that they could not make it better, they just did not touch it...
Thanks for your opinions guys!

0.8° camber difference is noticeable imo.

0.11 degree toe in on one wheel is a bit excessive as well. I found 0.05 degree toe in per wheel and 0.10 degree total toe in as the sweet spot for these cars.

I would even make the argument that you can run 0 toe at the rear.

Eccentric bolts can correct them to a degree. It might work.

The front is OK I think. 1* 22' is close to 1.36 (decimal) degrees.

The rear has big difference in camber (0.55 degrees). Maybe double check it? If it is the real/correct value you should fix it I believe.

I can get about 0.5 degs of adjustment from the rear bolts.

Adjustable upper or lower control arms are a better option, but a lot more expensive.

You can increase the side with less camber as much as the bolt will allow, and then adjust the other side down to match that number.

Thanks everyone for so quick and helpful insights!
Will buy excentric bolts for the rear and try to find a shop that is capable and willing to play around with it. I will post the results!

Is the 1* 22' in front enough for canyon runs? Should i ditch the top bolts and buy the lower ones (+ the bottom one to the top?). I can already feel the difference now, but wonder if it could get even better at 1,5 - 2deg?

Yep, that's what I do. I have to increase one side and decrease the other to make them match.

@Chris1 did you end up putting the SPC camber bolt in the bottom? What did you do with your top bolt?

I bought both upper and lower bolts but after more reading I'm not sure if I should install both. I plan to do autocross and the rare track day (1-2 times a year). I also read the main issue on bolts is not torquing correctly and then they slip.

Thanks

-1.85°/-1.95° on my GR with just Whiteline (SPC) upper bolt, maximum adjustment (the boss of the screw on the engine side and the lug on the washer on the rotor side), and pushing the knuckle during tightening, there is quite a bit of unused play if you don't push, without pushing too hard otherwise the screw is across, although it's possible that it will slip back into the axis when tightened but I didn't take the risk.
Adjusted in this way, impossible for it to slip under the bolt.

I'm on stock bolts with camber plates now.
But, I had the bottom stock bolt in the top with the camber bolts in the bottom.

@yaya23 Not sure what you mean by "boss of the screw on the engine side". The screw is parallel to the engine.

I'm thinking of possibly doing just the upper as well. As I went to do this I now see the past owner installed in the lower portion but they didn't follow the instructions.

Says to install the tab facing towards the wheel when in the lower hole.

Sorry I should have said the cam lobe rather than the boss.
Maximum adjustment position is shown here at 1min38 :

For the negative camber with the bolt in the upper hole: the cam (on screw) on the engine side, small tab under the washer on the wheel side.

It's the opposite if we use the bottom hole.

KCA416 is for the upper hole, it doesnt fit in the lower hole.

Is any slotting on the OE strut needed to use camber bolts?
