Front Camber

Has anyone had the car aligned for max camber on the stock suspension?

Hoping for at least -1.5 a side but would love to hear from anyone that has looked it.

dont know what stock is, but you can pull the pin on the stock hats and gain a little more camber.

Just did an alignment on mine and, even pulling the pins, couldn't get more than -1.3

I believe that others, including Dan Parker, were able to get around -1.7.

EDIT: My car is at the stock height and is not lowered.

With pins pulled and 1" lowering, you can get 1.7-1.8 degrees of negative front camber.

Rear camber uses an eccentric washer and has a much wider range of adjustment.

SCCA autox stock class rules will not allow for the car to lowered, so I am hoping for -1.3 or better....
