Default Camber adjustment + air suspension+offset for big brake

Hi, been looking at a lot of threads on this but I can't find the parts I need.
Currently I'm running tanabe lowering spring and kyb shock.
However the rear camber in maxed out. How do I get more neg camber out the rear. I also want to fit an air suspension setup.
I've seen mk1 on air with extreme camber so it must be possible bit how ?
If anyone has any info on the how and suppliers of I would be really grateful.
Just to throw into the mix I'm running a big brakes at the front so Im going to be limited in wheels. Currently have 18x9 and 18x10 Lexus TTE alloys which clear brakes not sure what offset they are.
Also anyone know about tyre stretching what the most you should do ?

Lot of questions there hopefully you guys have been there done it.
Thanks

there are still plenty of options for you, as far as rear camber goes, if you switch from springs to air or coilovers, the lower you go, you'll get a bit more camber. Since your running kybs already, you can switch the springs out for bags and build a setup around that. Its pretty much what im running. With rims, you just have to see what the offset is and what disc. My setup is pretty much kybs/uas air with -4.5 degrees camber all the way down in the rear and -3.5 in the front. Im running 19x9.5 hi disc in the front and 19x10.5 mid in the rear + 15 all around.

Thats fantastic great job.
You just using stock camber arms ?
Could you give me a bit more detail on doing the airbag swap ? eg what I need and good source for parts. Do you have any pics of your setup ?
When you raise the vehicle to top does it become stock height ? Also did you have to modify the arch to stop rubbing when lowered ?
