why would you want that lol....trust me I have negative camber naturally and hate it. Tires wear out quicker and less traction in wet weather. Just get spacer and roll your fenders looks much better.

Thats you, i guess hes going for the hella flush look. I know a few people who like negative camber.. just a little to much.

I remember reading about some camber kits available for our cars but not much

how low are you.
natural camber can easily get you to -5*. not saying i would want to, but you can. problem would be correcting toe at that point, though.

All I know is the lower you go, the more neg camber you get. Yes, you toe will def get mess up and get alignment otherwise your tires will wore out like less than 3 months. I never heard of a kit that will give you more neg camber, but I know there are kits that will correct your camber (less neg).

From what i understand the SC can get up to +/-3 with stock adjustment.Lowering would mean more is avail from there.
haven't Got mine running/on the rack at work yet but I don't need to much.Got some posi camber up front after LCA install etc.

Toe will Wear out your Tires...you can make camber work out fine.My Nissan has like -3.5 in the rear and Tires are Fine.

Fixed. Your negative camber will happen when you lower the car. Camber kits are for the purpose of correcting that, not making it worse.

If you want more negative camber, I have rear upper controls arms with the camber correction kit installed backwards for more camber. The other route to go is to buy adjustable control arms for $700 per arm set, and a lengthy wait.

Let me know if you are trying to do it immediately, and more cost-effectively. I'll sell my arms for your legs

Slam and you will induce gobs if camber. If that is not enough, check out ikeya formula lower or upper arms.
