So who has changed their rear camber more -ve?

If so how has it changed things ... still as grippy on pull off ... better / worse cornering ?

How was it done - and who did it ? easy difficult?

Mine is lowered, which adds negative and I have the crash bolts all around. I do like it. I just swapped out tires, and noted SLIGHT extra wear on the inside, but I drive it pretty hard.
Some of the SDCrew are working on adjustable arms to replace the rigid ones we have. Then, you can adjust to almost any angles, etc as you'd like. For now, there is very little adjustment you can make down under.

Has anyone here heard about the bushings that Renntech offers for the rear axle? My understanding is that it corrects the negative camber from the lowering of the car. It is actually listed for the SL55, but my S/A says that the SL55 & E55 have the same rear axle, so it should fit!

Call RennTech, but that sounds like you would be adding camber, not going negative. I'm looking to go even more extreme than lowering alone. I don't mind tire wear. I want traction in the turns.
I'd still be curious what RennTech offers, though. Also, the rear end on the E55 and SL are NOT the same. Even the geometry of a few arms is different. there may be some shared components?
