yep stock will be fine, depends how low you go but most people buy camber kits to get rid of camber not add it. you should get a couple of degrees or more from stock by lowering which is plenty to get these to fit

+18 hasnt anything to do with brake clearance, that has to do with the disk size of the rim. that determines the brake clearance.

but i am quite sure they will cause stock brakes on 2gs are pretty small calipers. i have low disc all round on my Works and they clear easy
