Factory camber adjustment
Factory camber adjustment
Does anyone know how much negative camber can be achieved using the factory adjustments (for both front and rear), while still allowing for an in-spec toe setting?
EDIT:
Found discussion regarding front. Looks like -2 for front without much toe affect. Rear, I have not located any definite info on.

On the front if you grind out the subframe slot to get full rotation of the eccentric bolt you can gain another 0.5 or so. You can get a little over 2.5 by doing so.
The rear is easier to get camber, I don't know what you are wanting to do with the car but for track events typically you want to keep the rear less than the front so you can get all you want within reason in the rear.
As far as toe that's not an issue in the front no matter what you do. The rear can typically be kept in spec when you get max camber.
The only thing you have to deal with is keeping caster in spec if you get all the camber in the front, but you can keep it pretty close.

Thanks for the added info!
To be honest, trying to fit a set of wheels without rolling the front fender lip and/or running too undersized of a tire (heard it is best to keep as much of the support for the front fender in order to avoid possible damage if I hit pavement shift while driving/cornering. I will most likely trim the rear lip more than I have currently have to avoid the excessive camber, but wanted to know what may be an alternative solution to all this extra work. The car doesn't get driven often so some amount of abnormal tire wear I can live with.
