I'm look to adjust the camber on all four wheels for my '06 v70 (2.5t-turned-R).
I'm not looking for crazy camber, just something with noticeable improvement in performance. I'm not sure what I need and what brands to look for.

By 2.5t turned R, the suspension is aftermarket coilovers and now has AWD and donated from a salvaged v70r. Along with several, several other modifications. (Would love to share on a different thread)

You can't really adjust the rear camber. There are offset bushing kits that let you do it. If the vehicle is lowered, you'll wind up with some nice negative camber in the rear. For the front, I think BNE makes good spring perches:

The offset bushings aren't a great solution in my experience. Both the silver project and ipd offset bushings pull the bottom of the rear knuckle inward which can cause some binding with the forward control arm. I currently have mine set up this way and plan to remove them and just get my rear camber where I want it by compromising with a higher ride height. Although, having less rear camber and a lot of front camber was giving me some nice lift off oversteer haha.

I've seen tow arms before used to counter negative camber. I have my car lowered as well but not to the greatest extent so the negative camber is minimal at best. The fronts have even less, and I enjoy taking this car out on tracks so I needed a solution that's reliable and trustworthy.

A while ago, I saw a relatively new company called Gecko Racing, I decided to try them out and they've done excellent. I bought a set for my dad's '14 Q7 and mechs said they were impressed with them. The rear camper is around -1.0
