Default Max Negative Camber with 3/4" drop?

How much negative camber will AP2 camber adjusters allow with coilovers lowered about 3/4-1" and otherwise stock suspension?

I am getting ready to install some coilovers and and trying to determine if I need to install adjustable lower mounts to get the -1.5 to -2.0 camber I'm looking for.

Cheers

Max stock should be -2.0 Front and -3.0 Rear or at least close. 1" drop should net you at the very least -0.5 additional.

I maxxed out at -2.4 in the front and I was lowered 1.5", so probably -2.2 or -2.3 at 3/4"

Weird, I dropped 1.25" initially when I switched to the Swifts and one of my corners was at about -4.0 when they first put it on the machine and every corner was at -3.5 or greater (have front camber joints). Overall, I gained about a degree of negative camber at every corner.

I was able to. I currently have -3.0 front and -2.7 rear. I haven't asked to find out what the minimum is. They usually have trouble getting the rear set right, but I've always attributed it to needing to dial in camber and toe at the same time in the rear. At the time I had a Cusco FSB.
