Default How much camber adjustment on OEM arms?

Hey Guys,

I've been hunting for some front upper arms for my SC400 to make some minor adjustments to the front of the car but I began to think if I really need them. I plan on adjusting my camber a bit in the front to about -2 to -3 and was't sure if the OEM arms were able to make such an adjustment, and maintain this degree of camber.

Anybody if I'll be able to acheive this much negative camber with the OEM arms or will I need to bite the bullet and just buy some upper control arms?

-2 yes, -3 not sure without drastically affecting caster. -2 is a lot for the street though.

Just lowering the car brings it into the -2.x range already, so your goals are easily achievable with the stock arms.
