What causes my rear wheels to camber in with the top of the wheel closer into the car?

A large fat dude or dudes in the back of the car.
two transmissions and 2 brake sets in the back hatch
blown struts and broken springs
the exact moment right after you hit the ground coming down from a turbo-boost jump

LOL
(you already got your answer so I wanted to be funny)

hmm but my struts work fine, i dont think my springs are busted, i guess they are just weak? is the camber not ajustable in this car?

Not on the rear, from factory, it's not.

It is possible that the camber bolt on the rear struts has been altered, or changed out...

The negative camber you describe may not be all that bad - do you have alignment specs handy? Ideal range for a stock car is around -0.5 to -1.0

from the rear it looks almost as bad as in the pic, not quite tho, and seems worse on the passenger side

If it's that bad then I'm thinking it's got to be something like:

broken spring
bent strut
Impreza springs

Really can't tell without a pic from the back of the car in good light showing both sides of the car OR an alignment spec report.
