with the lower settings, do you have any increased negative camber/tire wear issues? I'd do the lower settings purely for freeway driving, but I'm wondering what the negative aspects of doing so are - ie tire wear, out of optimal range of suspension, etc etc.

I had a bmw tech lower the "normal" setting for me, i forget which program was used to do it though. I think maybe the DIS system??

Anyway, looks great and was free. Probably brought it down around an 1 or a little more. Then when I park I put it in "low" setting and then there is barely any wheel gap.

it's not so hard searching the forums, but there is a lot to go throught, and you need a lot of patience...
