dealing with negative camber after drop

I have an M45 dropped on Eibachs and have ~2.5 degrees neg camber in the rear and almost 2 in the front.

It looks like the issue is a lower control arm or tension rod of sorts that is too long due to the change in rear geometry that it forces the negative camber.

what have you guys done to deal with this?
camber kits?
new arms?

along those lines, i wanted to get new wheels but don't see how i can get lower offset rims in there.

i've seen cars as slammed as or more slammed than me so i'm sure others have solved this problem.

thanks for any input

Roll your fenders. For the negative camber, nothing you can do. They don't make camber kits for us. You just have to go through tires. I have a real bad camber on my car and I use to run Toyo tires and they would only last me 8 months, Then I got sponsored by Nitto and gave me the Nitto Invo's and now my tires last about 1 year and 4 months in the rear and 1 year and 6 months in the front. Like my friends told me, "You have to pay to play". Good luck, hope this helps you.

wow that sucks that their is no company doing some r&d on camber kits for M's. i think if there is a big enough population of M's that need camber kits someone must create it. but good luck with your decision
