KMAC or Ground Control. They're pricey. Some coil over systems all ready come with them. Not KW.

Hmmm... ok I have another question then.

Given that I'm getting KW V2's, what do I need to get my camber OUT of spec? Maybe -3 to -4 in the rear? I'm assuming this won't help me.

Just curious but why do you want to go out of spec and increase the negative camber? Are you tracking the car or is it just for looks?
Not sure if you noticed but the front camber kit you linked says its only for the M5 or M6.
Maybe you can couple that front kit if it'll work for your 535i with the rear camber kit I'm selling. I asked BavAuto if it'll allow you to increase and decrease camber since the website just says 2.0 degrees of adjustability. I don't see why it can't but I'll just double check.

Just verified with Bavauto. The rear camber kit allows for + or - 2.0 degrees of adjustment.

Building a VIP 5 series so going out of spec, camber-wise, is part of the look.

I spoke to some friends yesterday and we came to the consensus is that the +/- 2 degrees is from where it sits.

ie. assuming you're lowered and you're sitting at -4, the kit helps bring you back to -2 or out to -6.

Does anyone know the camber range on a stock non-M E60? Is camber adjustable from the factory, F&R?

The "front" numbers don't look right to me.
