I haven't really looked into this but can you confirm if camber can be adjusted on a stock GS suspension for the fronts and rears? And if camber can be adjusted do you know the range for the amount of camber that's able to be adjusted?

I know you can adjust camber, toe, caster to some extent. I'm not sure of the range. FIGS sells eccentric bushings the get more adjustment. Also 2gs upper control arms for 1gs and they sell adjustable. Its more money. The bushings aren't very expensive either and add a few degrees to what you already have.

Thanks for confirming Nix!
I'm just worried about the camber in the rear... as I'll be dropping my car as low as possible (will be doing fender mods while the car is jacked up to ensure no rubbing issues)

No prob glad to help. All depends on how low and what kinda of camber you're willing to run. I prefer sporty look over VIP but do what you want. Be careful when choosing wheel fitment before suspension adjustments. If you lower your car a lot and adjust your arms and such it can move your hub face in/out like 1" which could ruin your fitment.

That's not bad at all for now. -6-9 is a lot.

Its a trade off for making the wheels clear the fenders but that is a really low ride height
