06 MCS rear camber range

I have a 06 MCS, its my understanding that the rear has a small amount of adjustabilitiy to the camber. Does anyone know how much adjustability there is and what that range is? I just had a 4 wheel alignment done on my car and the rear camber was 2.0/2.1 (left/right). I would expect that there is some variance in the range due to production tolorance.
TIA

I'd leave it as it is. The stock specs for the rear are minimum -2.0 degrees and the maximum is -1.0, so as you can see you are within the range.

As far as how much adjustability there is, I'm not sure.

Because of the rear trailing arm suspension the rear camber will change depending on how much weight is in the car. When a MINI dealer does an alignment their specs show a spring height range that the tech is suppose to achieve before doing the alignment. They do this by adding weight to the car. When I go to an independent alignment shop I prefer to be sitting in the car with a 1/2 tank of fuel. Comparing alignment specifications, especially rear camber, would change depending on how much weight is in the car.
