It seems like they did design the kit for the lower rear arches, which is wierd, because my kit (for the 84-85 318i) should only affect the early style. Oh well. My front pads are only about 2cm thick top and bottom.

I was thinking of trying to get bottom ones to fit on the top too, but I'll try shaving first. I don't think it'll be too big of a problem to get it even.

Here are some poor quality pics (from a regular camcorder).

Before (Jeep-like):

After side (see how high the rear is??):

Compared to stock suspension 88 325:

Rear camber:

I think the camber pics are just kinda funny. It doesn't look that bad in person.

The car feels great though!! Wierd to describe; I'd say it's stiffer (you should see my old shocks), but much MUCH more controlled. The rear has settled down a little since the pics were taken.
