Does anyone know if it is possible to alter the toe in on the rear of an S1 with standard trailing arms?

I am guessing that is why TVR went to semi trailing but I would like to keep mine stock really.

I've read of people adjusting the camber by using wedge shaped spacers between the bearing carrier and trailing arm.
Guess doing it the other way (90 degrees round) would alter the toe in/out?

Yes, you can shim between the hub and the trailing arm to adjust the geometry away from standard. If you're trying to restore the standard settings instead, make sure you understand why they're wrong first since it might indicate something is bent.
