w210 Suspension difference(s) AMG/non-AMG

Wanted to inquire to the suspension differences between AMG and non-AMG vehicles other than the springs and shocks. I am trying to understand why my rear camber values are -1.7 and -1.8. The very inner edge of the rear tires heats up the most and chews up the tires. My car is a '97 E300.

I had installed a pair of E55 springs (front and rear) with a #1 pad up front and #3 in the rear. Had the car aligned but there is only so much that can be done. I've ordered a set of rear camber arms from Lensolo, but it's taking a while to have some inserts that my specific car needs as he advised I have an "older" rear axle housing.

My front camber values are -1.5 per side. What is a normal camber value for the E55's? My tires are also all the same size 235/40/18 on monoblock replica's. I know the E55 rear wheels are wider...

Don't know if this helps, but E55 has larger solid torsion bars as well front and rear also.
