I just had my 09 JCW coupe lowered
I want to get rid of some of the negative rear camber.
Does anyone know how much camber can I correct without changing
lower control arms?
Right now the rear camber is negative 2 degrees

 

Leave it there. It will handle better.

 

I agree just leave it alone. I just had the JCW suspension installed on my 09 factory JCW. This introduced and additional 1 degree of negative camber. It looks a bit odd but does improve the handling.

 

Factory eccentric has 4 degrees of adjustment. With a 3/4 rear drop my adjustment range was +1 to -3 in the back. Stock was plus or minus 2 degrees.

 

How much camber do you have up front? You could just leave alone. Get camber plates and run 2 degrees up front as well.

 

 

We just put H&R springs on the sons R56. It dropped it about 1.5 inches and added some additional camber. We had Ireland engineering fixed camber plates which gave us about -1.3 camber. The H&R's bumper that to -1.8 front and -1.3 rear. HE does a lot of highway driving back and forth to school in Charlotte so we'll keep an eye on that, but that'll offset things in autocrosses. Can't wait to do something with the Clubman!

 

I just had mine lowered, with Eibach Pro-Kit Sport Springs....Hotchkis rear camber kit....the increased negative camber has certainly improved handling - quite considerably! I am very happy with this setup.

 

The amount of adjustment remaining depends on where the bolt is positioned currently. There is .5 degrees of effective adjustment available from a 180 turn of the bolt. If the arm is already shortened, no adjustment will be available.

Nope
