Default How far does the stock camber adjustment go?

im looking into getting a set of 17x8 & 17x9 +22 wheels...and was just wondering how far can the stock camber adjustments go? im thinking i would need around -4 to -6 degrees of camber in the rear and will be running stretched tires.

if the stock adjustments cannot go that far? what's a good camber kit out there?

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

You're going to ruin your handling for pure cosmetics.

If that's what you're going for, then have at it.

Rather than spend the money on a camber kit like the SPC adjustable ball joints (see, I'm giving helpful information and answering your question), why don't you buy wheels that fit?

full negative camber

another shot

this is the front bolt you adjust there is 2 on the rears

this is what the oval bolt looks like at full negative stock camber


for the record (and the community leaders so they wont lock this)
i know that its not reccomended that you mess with your own suspension but this was before i had my alignment because i was curious, and obviously you should leave this stuff to a professional

Nope. You will not get -4 to -6 degrees rear camber on stock suspension.

Generally ~ -3.5-ish is about all that you get without sacrificing toe in.

And plenty of the race guys do their own alignments.

Dirty shame to ruin the handling of the car If my S suddenly didn't handle,it would keep me awake at night But whatever makes u happy it is your car and certainly none of my business $$
