Negative camber is a good thing

well that is as long as it's not too severe, before i got the X i had a little acura rsx lowered and man i never got a rear camber kit for it, looked terrible / \ ..tires lasted 2 months

im curious tho with the X..if I lower it will the camber be thrown off that significantally? prob. about 1.2" with the eibacs

you wear is more a problem with the toe not corrected for that camber amount.

the x5 has more negative camber in the rear then the front because of the engineers designed understeer into the factory settings.

when you lower the car, you will inherently get more negative camber and toe out.. get an aligment after you lower the car to fix your wear problems.
