Make sure the bolts are tightened adequately when finished. Some people worry about loss of cornering performance with reduced rear camber, I have not noticed any difference. I had an alignment done on my X5 after I adjusted the rear camber to its minimum, the resultant camber was still within worshop manual specifications.
Good Luck
Colin.
