Rear camber/toe adjustment - adjustable arms ?

Since upgrading to BMW PS and whiteline inserts I have maxed out the adjustment on my rear camber and can still only get to -2.6
I don't want to burn through the inner shoulder of my tires so can anyone make a suggestion as to what I should do. Also, the toe in is visible although the spec sheet from the alignment shop says it's within specs - seems hard to believe since I can see it with the naked eye.
Anyway, what does everyone suggest - adjustable toe and camber arms ?
I'm not looking to pay top dollar but want something that will do the job. It's a DD, not a track car.

ie, these look like they're probably utter garbage.

But these are wayyyy too expensive.

These are excellent upper links for camber adjustment:

At -2.6 your toe may be slightly out of spec(adjustment limit of the toe arms) or at the outer limit of spec from our experience. Once you are able to get camber around -2, toe should be able to come within spec.

The rear will look toed-in because of the way the body lines are.
