I would say over 2 deg negative on the rear easy. If you sacrafince caster you should be able to get 2 deg negative in the front.

okay lets stop right here...

how low are you going?

maximum negative camber? you can get a ton. why do you want a lot of negative camber? fitting wheels? you have to remember that the lower you go the more negative camber you will get static just from suspension geometry.

my sc is less than 3" off the ground. tucking tire easily. in the rear the highest i can go is -2.5*. the most is...well who cares you dont really need more then that unless you are fitting wheels or doing some hardcore roadracing.

front camber is at -2.0* is the highest it will go being that low. if you wanted you can run like -6.0* though.

what is your setup and what are you trying to do with your car?

well, i dont have an SC yet. i was asking so i can plan ahead. and im planning on drifting it. when you set up a car for drifting its nice to have around -4 camber in the front. (sorry if you knew that already) so i was just making sure that when i got coils its going to be possible to get that much camber.

i also plan on getting PBMs, if that makes a difference.

Plenty of drift teams use an SC that should give you enough confidence you can achieve proper suspension setup. Yes coilovers makes the difference cause its going to depend on how low you are to how much camber

this is true, but professional drift teams also have the money and ability to make custom suspension parts. and i was saying pbm makes a difference in regard to the kind of coilover, not whether i have them or not.
