Adjustable Rear Camber in Stock MCS

Am I late to the party?

I just started to work on a brand new (5/05 build date) and noticed that the rear control arms are now adjustable for camber. Am I the last guy to find out?

We snapped a couple of shots. Will post soon.

They ( mini ) certainly kept that a suprise. They do have limited movement tho about 1/4 inch in and out but it will help to some degree. Nice find !

Well, you're probably not the last but.....you're close.

This was discussed quite a while ago.
