Was planning on lowering my e60 and was just wondering if u guys install camber kits afterwards or not. Wondering if there's a way to adjust the camber instead of installing the kits. Any help would b appreciated.

depends on how low you plan on going, but most guys on here don't use them. The guys who do go low have coilover kits that have it built in. I'm lowered on H&R sport springs and I fell back into the OE range no problems when I had the alignment done.

If you go eibach pro-kit you can get your rear into spec camber, however you will still eat tires on the insides rapidly. My rear tires only lasted about 8-9K miles after I lowered my car. I bought the camber kit from Bav-Auto and now my rear tires have lasted about 2 years since you can dial the rear camber to -.5

Well worth the investment if you plan on keeping your car for a while.
