I just bought an 03 cobra with IRS it was stage 5 axles, IRS brace, andfactory springs/height. I noticed the rear tires slanting in bit. So I took it to the local alignment shop. They hooked it up and told me they needed aligned both front and back. They werent sure there was anyway to adjust the rear alignment. Camber on the rear left was -2.37degrees. toe was -0.06. For the right is was Camber 0.00degrees Toe is -0.36. Total Toe is -0.42 and cross camber -2.37 degress.

Is there any way to fix this. Im an IRS noob, lol Help please.

Something doesn't seem right by the numbers you gave. Also, you took it to an alignment shop and they didn't know how to align it??? Go to a reputable shop with laser alignment and ASE certified mechanics.

Cross Caster -0.4* to 0.0*
Total Toe 0.17* to 0.33*
