Dropping rear subframe for realignment?

I know the fronts do not have any room for adjustments but I have heard that the rear subframe are possible for some changes.

I saw two bolts that connects the subframe to the body but even wit them loosen, I couldn't see any movements in the subframe.

Do I have to loosen more bolts? If so, where are they located at?

Thanks alot in advance

Not sure about this one but I thought you could gain a little (-.5) by dropping the front sub-frame and shifting plus loosening top strut mount and shifting as well and the rear only with 05-06 control arms with the eccentric bolt.
