^ I would assume the fronts were adjustable and the rears were static.

I'll let you guys know for sure later today when I get an alignment.

i adjusted my rear suspension via the eccentric camber bolts. negative camber were more pronounced after the installation of eibach springs and 285 30 R20 wheels. no issues now, no more inner tire wear!

Alignment done yesterday and you can adjust the rear + or - 3 degrees, however the fronts can't be adjusted without camber plates.

I done 2 alignments and camber can't be adjusted. Both times I had negative results but I hear that's actually what Dinan is doing and charging you for that negative camber

Ah, that's what I thought, rear camber adjustment only.

Haven't looked into that, but the only one that comes to mind are the KW clubsport coilovers for the M5, but I guess those doesn't fit our non-M5's.

You need camber plates for a Macpherson strut type suspension. Rears have a decent mount of adjustment though, like you saw.
