Default Front Camber

What is the maximum amount of front camber that can be dialed in?

Will this change when the car is lowered?

Max -4 degrees with +6.30 Castor on the Front on a lowered car.

Yes camber, toe and castor will all change if the car is lowered!

So you can have more caster with more camber you get the caster angle will reduce at the same time. If you have upper arm then you can still push the castor to the maximum without reducing the camber.

Nope !

My car cant even make it down to the MOT station never mind a race track!

I was just wondering why there are so many additional suspension components that allow for increased camber.

Last year I had the car set up with -1 front camber and noticed the outer shoulders were scrubbing. This year I was planning on trying -2 deg upfront but was worried I may require some additional component to achieve this.

yes but they also allow you to bring it back into spec after lowering, without resorting to comprimise on other settings
