How Low Before Camber Kits
Going to be installing BC Coilovers soon. How low can you set the ride height before you have excessive negative camber? I've read around that some guys are able to drop 2" while still getting their alignment very close to within spec.
Fender to Ground height or Finger Gap with stock 18" wheels/tires would be a helpful guide. I'm hoping to lower to 1-2" finger gap all around.

You'll be fine if you're only looking to have a finger gap (or two) all around.
I am 23" fender to ground (much lower than you said you're doing) (stock is something like 27" for AWD?) Im tucking tire and have adjustable ball joints, toe arms and control arms to bring it all together.
You'll be fine if you're lowering your car the amount that a set of lowering springs will do (finger(s) gap)

It is a misconception that when you lower your car that you HAVE TO get camber arms. Even at a LOW ride height, with a proper alignment, you can mitigate any sort of camber wear. It is toe that wears tires MUCH more quickly that camber. At the ride height you mentioned, you'll lower your car and not have any sort of wear issues to speak of in fact. But it is of course best to always get an alignment afterward. But be sure to get ALL of the suspension adjustments/mods out of the way at the same time so you only have to get that one alignment. Instead of camber arms and what not, I'd highly recommend getting the RR Racing LCA bushings to help with front inner tire wear that owners have a problem with even STOCK SUSPENSION.
