Adjustable Rear Camber Arms?

Does anybody have any recommendations on adjustable rear camber arms? I found the following adjustable rear camber arms from Godspeed Project, but not sure they will fit the i4 due to the air suspension in the rear.

https://godspeedproject.com/bmw-4-se...pper-arms.html

Anybody know of any other options that are confirmed to fit?

An alignment shop can take out some of the negative camber. I had them do that to mine for my second set of tires.

Would you be willing to share your alignment specs?

They're filed away somewhere. I'll search for them when I get a chance. I had them take a bit of toe out of the front and rear, and then take some camber out of the rear. The goal was to make the back a little bit looser and reduce tire wear all around. There's some ultimate grip lost, but it's a road car, not a track car. They were super conservative and argued against being any more aggressive with the changes.

You don't want to take out too much toe because if it's zeroed out, the car ends up dynamically moving between positive and negative toe, which leads to unsteady handling.

Sounds good. Let me know what you find. My car has the H&R Suspension Kit installed, so I am looking to see if the increase rear camber can be adjusted. The front appears to be fine.

I don't know how much camber comes out when lowering, but as long as it's still negative by at least a degree, I'd keep it as it. The tail is too planted already.
