[W126 Coupe] Rear camber

I had purchased the KMAC kit a few years ago from their North Americian 
Distributor in SCal for about half price. I decided not to install it. As 
the kit moves the top of the tires out, if it was installed my wheel off set 
(11mm) would have put the tires into the fenders. I have replaced my tires a 
few weeks ago and have my old rear tires in the garage. I can't tell any 
difference in from outside to inside. It seems like a lot of  BMW 3 and 5 
series I see while driving have negative rear camber from the factory.

Rusty's site has pix, they may be a quarter in off center, max, but even
then, the 45 degree angle that the trailing arm has with the line of the
camber adjustment needed means you won't get even that small amount of
adustment, If you'd look at the degree of camber adjustment needed, you'd
have to move the bottom of the wheel in, or the top out, a good deal more
than a quarter inch.
