I noticed something interesting about the subframe mounting points
on my Coupe while cleaning the dirt out of them (wanted to put the
subframe back on, but the sand was making it difficult...not I
do not generally remove my subframe to clean out the mounting holes).

The driver's side rear subframe mount point is just a hole.  The
other three are slots.  So, the subframe is not really designed
to shift independently in one plane, but pivot around the driver's
side rear bolt (pivoting in two planes simultaneously).

This would seem to be a way of equalizing castor between the two
sides, but is not very useful for "fixing" significant camber
problems.
