Just lowering the rear will give you negative camber... but it's no fun having to change rear tyres every 6 weeks with just normal(ish) driving.
Plus you lose suspension travel and could make the car handle worse than before.

Question is, why do you want to increase camber at the rear?

That's easy just lower the car must people have isues with to much camber as unless you are using slicks you don't need much more than 1.5deg

Slotted rear subframe is the best for adjustment.
