Default Hardrace Offset Ball Joints

Just received my order from Velocity for a set of Hardrace offset ball joints with optional RCA plates. Quality looks good. I won't be using the RCA feature because I'm on Swift Spec R's, so I can't adjust my height to compensate for the plates and I'm not lowered more than 40mm anyway. Hoping to install these this weekend. Anyone knows what's the max camber that can be achieved with this and stock adjuster combination?

I installed the Hardrace version (looks identical) and got to 3.2 deg camber. This was with the stock suspension. Lowering the car will add more camber.

With Swift Spec-R, you can reach at least 3.5 (where mine ended up when installing springs). I wouldn't be surprised if the max is almost -4.0.

I think you'll be happy at 3. I settled on 3.2 because that was the max of the lesser side. Even with the stock MY00 suspension I had even tire wear and improved turn-in. Cornering became more neutral - I hate understeer - just takes the fun out of tracking it. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't make much of a difference on smooth streets - however it will follow ruts more aggressively than the stock setup. If you regularly track the car, I think you'll the compromise is worth it.
