How did you achieve your rear camber

Hi,
Just wondering how you have achieved your rear camber - for those of you that have - how you did and how much you got from each way or combination of doing it. Did you get it from lowering, adjusting an arm in the rear or adding more of an adjustable arm?

You should be able to get -2.5 without any issues, but not recommended unless it's a track only car and to suit your particular driving style. If your car has been lowered, you may get more.

Adjustable upper links will get you a lot more, but you will also need adjustable toe links to free up more adjustment.

I'm running -1.6 in the rear with daily driving and it's much improved over stock which is 1.2 without going nuts. Stock ride height. 215/40/17's on stock base wheels.

weird the stock on mine I believe was -1.7... but maybe it's different on the M235

My 228 is the non-sport version so everything is basic. 1.2 is what pulled up when I got my alignment done last time as the stock measurement in the system.
