Toe adjustment

I realize this isn't meant to be a DIY project, so I'm guessing that not many ppl know, but... what part of the Civic REAR suspension allows for toe adjustment?? After I changed to a SiR rear susp, I noticed a toe in condition that needs correction asap. So... what part of the suspension has to get loosened to allow for the toe in to get corrected?

I would think that because most civics and tegs share common suspension components info from any ride would help..

I'll look in the Honda bible when I get home.

Yes, please look at the Honda bible for me That would be very helpful! I figured out the perfect way for an at home alignment Maybe I'm taking this no-mechanic-in-my-car thing too far.

Thank you keeper of the 5th gen bible! Pics were spot on!!!

And thanks 00 Civic SiR, the keeper of the 5th gen bible apparently has a crappy scanner, so it was a little tough to read, so thanks for providing the specs!
