Question Front Camber Adjustment??

Does a 2000 Boxster have a front suspension camber adjustment? One of my front tires is wearing on the inside edge (unlike the other one) and my alignment guy showed me that it was out of spec on camber nearly one degree, which is causing the excessive wear. We could find nothing bent, and it hasn't been wrecked.

However, his two references contradicted each other, with one saying the camber was adjustable, and the other saying it was not. We popped the cover off in the front trunk so he could look at the top of the strut, and he said that it wasn't adjustable as far as he could see, but that he doesn't see many Porsches so he could be wrong.

In my research I found one blurb about an eccentric bolt adjustment, but it wasn't clear if this was the front camber adjustment. I've also found the aftermarket camber plates for the 986, but it isn't clear if this can be used to correct my excessive camber. It seems that people use these for track applications to put *more* camber in for better handling. I need less.

Does anyone have any experience that can clear this up for me?
