Castor/camber out off limits

I lack about one degree of castor on both frontwheels.
I also have about one degree to much negative camber on one frontwheel.
I don´t see any adjustment possibilitys on the McPearson shock towers mounts.
I can´t find any text about it.
A: Is there any written practicess/tips/hints anywhere about Camber / Castor adjustments on late Scorpios ?
B: Is there any possible adjustments ?

castor and camber are not adjustable on the scorp, though weak or sagged front springs will have a large effect on camber.

I remember that Granada mk3's maximum allowed camber was -3 degree. No idea about 95+ Scorpio
I had on Granada mk3 rear camber almost that. It was maximum allowed according charts.
Can't remember what I had on front but my Granny was lowered much as possible without going over -3 degree rear camber
Camber adjustment is possible by machining V -shaped shim plates.
