2013 M6 coupe rear camber adjustment

I have a 2013 M6 lowered on HR springs and tech told me he maxed out positive camber at -2.8 for the rears.

Toe is within spec but inner tires are showing cords within 12k miles. Is this normal? 305/30/20 Michelin PS4.

I'm thinking of getting aftermarket camber adjustment but cant seem to find any, have any of you had any luck or run into the same problem?

Ideally I'd like my camber to be -1.0 / -1.5 since I do alot of straight line pulls anyways and never track the M6 or do any cornering so negative camber isn't as beneficial for me.

TIA!

2013 640i. I took it to an Indy for a four wheel alignment. Ask them to set camber fit optimal tire wear, I use it for touring, not tracking. Still handles fine and my tires are wearing evenly.

My M6 is lowered so more negative camber is induced, and the tech already tried to max out the positive camber setting which now still puts me at -2.8.

Was looking for aftermarket control arms with more camber adjustability but havent had any luck.

I'm not lowered yet, my rear is set to max camber (as much as stock suspension allows). I do more track than drag pulls, my michelin pilot 4s have been wearing almost too good ! 305 rears as well! 15-20k, 4 trackdays or so, and it still looks newish! Next is to lower the car.. Won't do antiroll bar as those induce understeer if the rear isn't also setup with the front..

The way I have the car, there is NO understeer, its just dialed out! I got the turner thrust arm bushings, but not sure if i'll install those..

I think this is what you need bro, I just bought the front bushing for camber adjustment yesterday.

Has anyone purchased this rear k-mac kit? I'm having excessive inner tire wear in the rear since I've installed my KW Sleeve kit. I've maxed out on positive rear camber and I'm still not within spec.

This kit seems like the perfect solution, However I have not seen feedback from the f10/f13 m5/m6 community.

I ran across those too before posting here. With the few reviews I've found about them, it sounds like they weren't built well and the bushings would get loose. I have yet to find a solution.
