Does anyone know the camber spec for a 1997 Celica ST in the rear? My rear camber was set too far in and now my inner rear walls are completely shot...these tires I got at the beginning of last year. I have 17 inch rims so let me know if you have information on this!

I highly doubt alignment specs for a 97 ST are hugely different from a 95 ST. I just got an alignment and I have my spec sheet handy - you're in luck.
Now, these aren't strict factory specs, but it's how my car is aligned right now and everything is cherry (I've got 17x8 wheels and 235/45 tires)

Left Rear
Camber: -1.4
Toe: 0.14

Right Rear
Camber: -1.8
Toe: 0.19


Bonus

Left Front
Camber: -0.8
Caster: 2.5
Toe: -0.03

Right Front
Camber: -1.0
Caster: 2.2
Toe: -0.02

Thanks for the specs. I really think my rears are far greater than what yours are made to...the camber can be seen from a distance. But how is camber even adjusted on this system? I thought the MacPherson system had a fixed camber?

Buy some camber bolts to replace a pair of your McPherson knuckle bolts. I have a pair of Eibach camber bolts installed on my front end - they're good for +/- 1.5 degrees of adjustment.
I've been meaning to buy a set for the rear as well.
