Rear Camber Settings

Can someone shed some light on this??

I have a 2010 Clubman S

What is the OFFICIAL rear camber setting for this car?
I just had mine aligned at MINI they set it to -2.17 I think it is TOO much neg camber and I don't want to scrub the inside of the tires off. I have hotchkis adj control arms on Megan Coilovers.

I have seen the spec to be -1.45 +/-.25
They said the MAX spec is -2.2 for JCW sport and -2.04 for cooper S

It's all over the board!!!!!!!!!

I want a street setup to get good tire wear with a little better performance.

HELP! They are willing to put it back on the rack to give me what I want. I think it should be between -1.5 and -1.75

The Bentley Service Manual lists the following:

Standard & Sport Suspension -1 degree, 45' +/- 25'

Sport low-slung suspension -2 degrees, 00' +/- 25'

Hope this helps!

So, if I can get them to bring it back to -2 or just below, I'm good? I would rather it NOT be on the high side which is where it is right now.

Yes, and keep an eye on tire wear to make sure it's evened out.

I believe the stock arms have an eccentric bolt that gives you a
measly 0.5 degree range of adjustment. See if there's enough
there to help a little.
