Looking into this today and may have a solution.
Will be on exchange basis for your old subframe.
Also available will be toe adjustment for the real hardcore guys.

150Euro's. It's just welding on a few tabs right?

I looked into RCCA (Rear Camber Correction Arm) once, but they stopped importing them for E30, and only one company supplied them in UK. Were about Ԛ£250 - Ԛ£300 for them if i remember rightly.

Ireland engineering have done this in the US too.
I used the 5 series parts they've used to start making a beam but got slowed by other projects. I have a set of adjuster bolts here on my desk...
They need 'tangs' making to allow the eccenric shank to push the bolt up and down in slotted holes. Make sense?
I'm thinking of ordering the IE ones from america before fitting the M Coupé trailing arms. After all; I might aswell.
They're $70 dollars so plus postage etc they'll be a bit of a rip off. I may even email them and see if they'll sell some of the weld on tangs separately..
An exchange rear beam service is a good idea. You'd only have to extend/shorten/move holes to a set ammount. That way people can't make mistakes adjusting and they can't self adjust over particularly evil bumps.
Wouldn't the degree of camber/toe correction required be different for every car because of weight and suspension droop? Just a thought.

I looked into this just out of curiosity as aot of people have very negative camber.
Depending on how much a rear subframe costs - probably can do this for around Ԛ£220-Ԛ£250 + postage.
Dunno if this is too expensive.

Perhaps a 'kit' compromising of the 5 series adjusters mentioned above but with tangs that slip onto the existing mounting points and get welded on. The holes would then need extending to match the new weld on tangs...
The kit could be produced for considerably less, perhaps sold in the zone shop???
You could then undertake modding peoples beams if they dont weld. Ԛ£250 does sound like a bit.. The 5 series adjustable bolts were Ԛ£12 all together with nuts and eccentric washers and the tangs would be fairly cheap to get a run of (wouldn't they?)
