Default Any end-links, or whatever available to adjust rear camber??

I'm running Tanabe DF210 springs with OTG shims out back. Before the shims, my camber wasn't bad at all. -1 degree. I rode like that for almost 6 months before the shims came along. No abnormal tire wear, no problems what so ever. I installed the shims several months ago, and shortly after installing them i noticed that the inside of the rear tires started wearing at an angle due to excess negative camber. I had -1 before, and i'm sure i have dramatically more now with the shims. Is there any end-links on the market or any adjustments available for the rear camber?

First, the only camber you will see with our suspension design is what is built into the design by the engineers. There is no Factory adjustment. What we have is equivalent to a straight axle in a truck.

And if your axle did somehow have any negative camber adding a simple spacer is not going to make it worse. You will have the same amount of camber as before, the wheel will just be pushed out. You would have to install a set of camber shims to get additional camber.

The only reason I could see you have aggressive tire wear is if your torsion beam did some how have camber that was being translated into a "toe-in" condition by your drop. The likelihood of that on a 2" drop with only 1 degree of negative camber is not very high. It may be time to take your box into the dealership and have them check out your torsion beam. It might just be bent somehow.
