As Ben says, if you lower the rear, the natural sweep of the trailing arm with alter the camber.

More info needed, a standard uncrashed car shouldn't have geometry issues.

It does if you lower it, which I think he has. The rears have negative camber.

I made a rear beam that is adjustable. Screwed up my measurements whilst welding and now have only 0.75 degrees of camber.

Tyre wear and straight line grip is excellent but it handles like a slag in the wet!

You are looking for 1.5 degrees whilst at resting height on a level surface if I recall correctly (from the BMW geometry specs).

I have mine set wrong at the moment, next to no camber. I'm with you on the wet handling, downright terrifying sometimes lol!

It on the list to be done, if this rain keeps up it'll be sooner rather than later.
