  My 88 325i is lowered 60mm on springs and shocks and therefore has more than a little negative camber, i have heard of a company that sells the parts to correct this can't remeber what they are called. 

How can i lessen the camber? as the inside edge of my tyres are not happy at the moment.

how far do you want to go with this ? i have details on a rear beam mod to adjust camber and toe independantly, as fitting the off centred bushes adjusting camber will affect toe in, i think these bushes can be got from bmw.

  Details on that rear beam mod would be nice what does it involve? need to sort it really as its eating tyres far to quickly have to keep swapping them round on the rims.

You can also stack the spring pads to raise the back a little. 2 10mm pads (one top, one bottom) should knock nearly one degree off the camber and help the handling too.

60mm is a big drop on the E30. 40mm is more of a maximum.

I agree 60mm is a lot, have a look here:
