Camber Adjustment

Camber Adjustment
I just had new Eibach Sport Springs and new Blisten shocks, and new 235x40x17 tires installed on my X 3 Jaguar 3 months ago. The inner lip on the tires is just starting to cup. The Tire Dealer said if I get it aligned again it will be ok. I had a 4 wheel alignment done right after everything was installed. I took the car back and they re checked everything and said the camber can not be adjusted on the car due to the lower ride height with the new springs. It is a neg.-2.2
I called Eibach and they said the same and that I will need to replace the tires sooner .
Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the camber??
I have the same springs on my BMW and no problem.
Thanks

Threwth, there is no camber adjustments available for our X-Types. Unfortunately, that is the case. But, with that being said, with a little bit of work, you can install an adjustment bolt in the upper control arm. But, this would involve modifying the hole for the bolt and getting a small metal bracket welded to the support to hold the camber adjustment bolt in place. I am looking into this myself. Odds are, I will end up finding some old struts from other vehicles, cutting this retaining bracket off and then welding it on to the car. So, is it something that you can just buy some pieces and you are done. No. Possible, yes.
