Suspension Lookin to lower my MCS...

Yes it does exist...and it's SUPER cool driving one of those 7-ers as they have NO body roll no matter how hard you corner. Ok, actually they program in 0.5 degree up to 0.5g lateral, and IIRC it ramps up to 2 degrees at full lateral grip.
BMW uses an electro-hydraulic [sic] coupler that controls two anti-roll bar halves, which is connected to a controller/actuator. It's super cool.

You don't need anything additional. Use the factory rear lower control arm outer eccentric bolts to correct the camber. The easy way is to adjust them so the knuckle bottoms are pushed furthest towards the vehicle center [most positive camber]. At ride height with your H&R spings, it'll yield about -1.0 degree camber in back.
There's minimal adjustment in front. The strut towers are mildly slotted and can add about -0.5 degrees. Also, be sure to check your front toe, as lowering the front will change the toe slightly. You want to end up with zero toe or 1/16" toe-in.

Thanks, they are flat black Tenzo M's Version 1...

Oh, and the funny thing is I took her to get aligned on Monday... Camber was all within spec! Caster & tow need a little adjusting in the front but that was about it!
H&R's are smoother on local roads then stock but a little rougher on the highway vs. stock...
