My E92 335i is lowered on KW V2's. My rear summer tires showed A LOT of camber wear. I took the car to a shop today to get an alignment today and got bad news. In addition to one of my front outer tie rods being biffed (thanks Columbus roads!) my rear camber adjustment bolts were already maxed out! The closest the rear will get to 0* is -2*. Is there an after market component I can install to keep from destroying $800+ worth of tires a year? And it wasn't toe wear. My rear toe was pretty good. Also, my rear KW spring perches are at their highest setting already. Semi-related, the shop had this pretty damn trick brand new Hunter in-ground laser alignment machine.

Cliffs:
Rear is at -2* camber, won't get closer to 0*
Don't want to ruin (more) tires
Toe in was in good range
Lowered on KW susp with springs set at max height already.

If you are already max on height and the vehicle is still too low, you may want to consider raising the vehicle up with heigher static height springs or different height adjusters so you could get less camber in the rear.

Are you not able to get zero because of other limitations(e.g. toe arm limitations) or the accentrics are simply maxed out?

The eccentrics are maxed out. I really like the stance. I was hoping there was a way to keep low (not necessarily slammed) and not shred tires.

Toe is the problem not camber. What are your toe settings?

I don't recall the exact measurement, but I recall the tech commenting that the rear toe was within spec, just that the camber was messed up. The only reason I remember the camber measurements is because both sides were at exactly -2.0*. I found that peculiar.

factory spec range for rear camber is like -1.8 to -2 iirc, so you aren't very far out of spec actually. negative camber won't wear your tires much at all as long as your toe is set correctly. My old car had -2 degrees front camber for a couple of years and the tires were fine.

But if you have negative camber and your toe is off even a bit, it will eat the insides pretty bad... and also if you do burnouts a lot

I'll grab a tire gauge and check if the wear is even here in a few thousand miles. Hopefully the alignment helped.
