e53 rear camber kit: Please HELP.

I know this has been asked before, but does anyone here have one installed or can recommend a kit? I vaguely recall someone having a kit installed but can't find his post.

BTW, I just had my entire rear suspension replaced, but with my 4.8is lowered on coilovers, the alignment shop still couldn't get the camber close to spec (with the request of zero toe as well). At this point, I'd much rather have adjustable rear camber anyways to go along with my new rear suspension.

Anyways, I'm really looking to having full camber adjustability in the rear. What do you guys suggest?

I wouldn't go with zero toe in the rear. Toe in provides stability. Stay within factory range on toe in at the rear unless you literally want to chase the tail of the X5...

Sorry, can't help on the adjustable bushings question.

How are your suspension components? Worn ball joints and control arms can cause excess camber in addition to what was caused by lowering it.

All rear suspension has recently been replaced and aligned. But with my ride height, the camber was still out of spec. I'd have to hunt down my alignment specs, but really would like adjustable camber to dial it in exactly how I want this time around.
