Haha wasn't me- was P-Tech employee's hands from the pad swap. They even bedded in the brakes for me, so I don't even want to bother doing the swap myself

Yeah, get it to equal the other side. It's easily adjustable with the eccentric so I don't know why they didn't do it for you...odd.
Would it be a different type of adjustment because I have coilovers? It wasn't a performance shop or anything - done at a Bridgestone.

Perhaps because I'm very low??? Although if the right rear is at -2.6* without rubbing, the left rear should be able to be set the same as well.

You might be at the limit of your adjustment due to lowering. The adjuster isn't on the coilovers, it is on the control arm.

Wasn't sure if my coilovers came with an adjustment part (something like an adjustable end link) that replaced a stock part. Are you saying being that the geometry of the camber is a by-product of how low the car is? I would think an alignment shop could still adjust my rear camber at the current height.

Ride height affects camber, called the camber curve. Not sure how much on the E9x chassis as the rear suspension is pretty intricate design work and I don't have as much experience as with the predecessors. Not only does lowering affect camber, it affects toe too. It's more prominent on the front due to the strut suspension (not nearly as fancy as the rear).

There are limits to the adjustment that you can achieve w/the stock arms. You can buy aftermarket rear control arms to get the camber adjustment range you need.

I'd still have it looked at.

Can you school me on the DTM lights. Are you just ordering the hole until that way or just the rings. Just trying to gauge if this is like the E46 being a pretty easy install on that one.

I actually went to Oneighty in NY and they took the whole thing apart and changed lots of stuff. I saw the DIY on these and knew I would fuck it up in a heart beat.
