On the top of the shock tower, you will see 3 studs sticking through with 3 nuts. You have to jack up the car, remove the nuts, let the plate slip down so you have access to the 3 holes, then slot with a round file or dremel-type tool with a Tungsten Carbide cutter--lasts longer, cuts faster than the stone grinder. I slotted them about 3/8" inward--directly toward the midline of the car. You can slot them diagonally in and back to increase camber and caster. Some have noticed handling gains when adding caster along with camber. Some have noticed a problem with the outside rear tire getting too hot, but that's under track use, only.

You will have to grind down the tiny lip around the inner hole to allow the nut to fit. You'll see what I mean.
