Wow. This is amazing. I had no idea the rear camber could be adjusted. When you say, "To reduce camber", do you mean, reduce negative camber, correct? Negative camber is where the top of the wheel/tire tilts in towards the car. You are offering a procedure to lessen that tilt in, right?
I'd like to reduce is just slightly. You want some otherwise your X won't handle like a BMW. Most folks don't utilize all of the negative camber, as you'd have to be taking 50mph corners at 105 mph for it to mean the difference between staying glued to the road and oversteering. But these cars have so much understeer dialed into them, you'll never hit that point anyways. Cutting the negative camber in back to half of what it is would still leave you with a very glued to the road X.
