Adjustable rear lower control arms

The camber on my rear wheels is not equal, and I've been toying with the idea of getting adjustable rear lower control arms for the longest time.

Any suggested brands? Any cons to using the cheaper ones that cost less than $100? Any real benefits for going with the really expensive ones like Ground Control?

Is it even worth the effort/money?

Look forward to hearing your feedback, thanks!

That doesn't sound quite normal. It should be able to be adjusted within parameters through a normal alignment.

If you aren't lowered or heading to the track looking for more range in your alignment I do not think it's worth it.

Cheaper ones, are made cheaper. You can see it in the construction and welds.

These are the best bang for buck IMHO

ECS Tuning. Search their website for the correct one to fit your Z4.

Hmm... I was always under the impression that the rear camber is fixed. Only toe can be adjusted for alignment.

Mine's an 07 MC with H&R coils btw.

I'm not 100% sure but I believe that with the toe some of the camber can be adjusted (although quite limited).

Being that you're lowered and you want the adjust ability I'd say its worth it.

Nope, fully adjustable for camber, toe is limited.
