It does, I was being conservative with my number because I'm not sure of Andrews ride height. I rather underestimate and he buy the one that will forsure work then tell him a number and he buy the wrong one only just to be disappointed with the results.

At 12.5" fender to wheel center I have seen -3.6 max but at higher ride height I'm maxed at -3.1. He's clearly wanting in the 4 range since he wants to gain 2 more degrees. The S1 camber joints will not get you to that number, I can promise that.

The other thing about the s2 vs s1 is the s2 allows for more caster adjustment.

Just to clear up some things with facts and specs.

J's Racing had redesigned the front camber joints against our recommendations.
The new CAJ-S1-S1 and CAJ-S1-S2 camber joints now include a 9mm roll center adjustment and are red. The old CAJ-S1-S1 and S2 only adjusted camber and no roll center and were blue. S1 joints increase camber range by 2 degrees where the S2 joints increase range by 3 degrees.
The new CAJ-S1-L1 camber joints include a 12mm plate for an overall 21mm of roll center adjustment.
J's Racing sells the 12mm and a 4mm plates separately to fine tune the roll center adjustment depending on how low the car is.

Spoon is now a good JDM alternative for those looking to get a camber joint for STR now that J's Racing doesn't make a camber joint without roll center adjustment. Although the Spoon are more expensive they are made of solid stainless steel so you get added durability and strength. Spoon increases camber range by 2.5 degrees.

It's no longer made, but it was the S1 IIRC.

It seems that the L1 joints without the plates should be identical to the old S1 design correct? So someone that just wanted camber adjustment without roll center could use the L1 and just not use the plates correct? And they would have the option to use the plates in the future if desired.

Maybe I am misreading this explanation?
