my stock car max rear camber is -2.1. lowering the car 20mm will i be able to get -3 in rear?

No.

thanks for the reply. debating on if i should throw down money on a camber kit or just put that towards a coilover . my tires at the track are getting too much edge wear.

Inside edge? It could be a toe issue from worn upper control arm bushings. You probably don't need more than 2.5 degrees of rear camber.

no. outside edge and alot less mid to inner wear. my buddy has the same set up as me and is also getting outside edge wear but he has -2.6 camber. now that you say it.. it does seem like alot of camber but my tires are getting trashed.

Must be running really soft sidewall tire like a DW Conti? What tire pressure you running?

I had pretty even rear wear on factory s02 back in the day when I was running about -1.5 camber in the rear. At -2 you should be pretty even or slight inner wear. When was the last time you had an alignment? Toe specs would be good to have here.

not sure why it would be an issue.. for the reference, I have Ohlins R&T Coilovers with default setting which is 20mm drop (.8 inch) and the guy at the alignment shop was able to get -3.4 camber in the rear easily .. though, I had him set them to -2.9 (fronts are -2.4)..

I don't have any camber bolts or plates, it's otherwise a stock car (suspension wise)

im running re11A but i do run them at 32 psi hot and my buddy has rs3s (not sure psi) i have not had a alignment in awhile but does my hot temp sound too low?

thanks perfect! thats the exact coilovers i want and the reason i asked the 20mm question. dang 2.4 in front.. sounds like i didnt need to get the front camber kit.
