Best Solutions to Correct Negative Camber

I need advise form the forum:

1. I dropped my 09 35i with H and R lowering springs.
I love the look but it created negative camber on the rear wheels.
This wil cause the rear tires to wear out in record fast time.
I Have not yet had it aligned and plan to so so but while completing the alignment I found these Negative Camber Correct kits.
I am looking for the Forum recommendations on how you correct this negative camber after a drop.

2nd- I am running my OEM Run Flats with my new VMR wheels.
After the drop the car is ROCK SOLID AND RIDES AND BANGS OVER THE SMALLEST BUMPS LIKE A ROCK.
I know the the RFT's are part of the problem.
Will NON RFT Summer P-Zeros lessen the rock like ride?

Negative camber correction Option 1
Adjustable Bushings
Optimize rear camber to maximize performance or tire wear. Bavarian Autosport's adjustable rear strut mount kit lets you fine-tune camber to suit your purpose, whether it's better handling at the track or prolonging the life of your rear tires--especially important if you have lowered you BMW's chassis or installed 'plus size' wheels. Kit comes with a handy tool for installation and removal of bushings. Range of adjustment is 2 degree's in either direction from neutral.






Option 2

(Click for a larger image)
Rear camber correction arms let you adjust camber incrementally by simply turning the center section. Light, strong and durable, they are constructed from 7075 grade aluminum billet so they are lighter and stronger than the stock arms. Provides camber adjustment from -1.0° to +3.0°. Direct replacement for stamped sheet metal OE arms. Each kit includes two arms and instructions.

Non RFT will definitely help. Be mindful if you swap out the bushings to avoid urethane if you're looking to keep the ride softer.
Also, contact Ed McKernan at www.bimmerbum.com regarding your suspension options. You won't find a more knowledgeable person or better customer service.
