If not, is there a separate locking plate kit for that one, or is that just not a feasible option because the shims don't allow sufficiently fine adjustments?
FWIW, I have never had issues with my camber slipping after track use; however, I have now had my car aligned 4 times (original, two times to figure out rubbing and once after off) and every single time my toe settings moved pretty substantially. I now have the locking kit on order - should have done it first time.

The rear camber eccentric can definitely move. Make sure it is torqued to the correct spec.

Do you have that spec handy by any chance? If not, I noticed that the shop I used for the alignment and corner balancing drew a line that runs from the bolt outward, so I'll have that visual indicator of something having changed.
