How adjustable is our stock camber kit
How adjustable is our stock camber kit
I am going to drop my car on tanabe gf210 and 18x10.5 +22 so I will need to roll my fenders. I am pretty sure I am going to need to run some negative camber as well. How adjustable is our stock camber arms in the front and rear
not sure exactly how adjustable but a quick search reveals...

mazda has always made proper race cars so I'm sure the you can run 2.5 all the way around if you want tires will go quickly with that much camber, wheels that aggressive you will have to run camber to not rub, a proper fender rolling will be do.

I can get about 1.8 on the front but apparently it is possible to get 2.0 on most stock cars. The rear you can get a little more maybe 2.5. I wouldn't set up my Rx8 with more rear camber then front because I autocross my car. If you are only street driving it should really matter but like @comebackqid mentioned you will waste your tires because you will wear out the inside inch or 2 in no time.
I'm amazed how uneducated people are about camber wear/tread life on tires.
Anyways, like dannobre said, it depends on your ride height. At an 11.5 inch ride height in the rear I'm running max camber of -5.6 and the front can go about -3.5 at a 11.5 inch ride height. A higher ride height will reduce the available negative camber and lower ride height will increase the negative camber available.

speaking of which ....
Seriously? I really can't believe how childish you are. I have made no statements regarding performance versus ride height and negative camber or stretched tires. I am completely aware that running excessive negative camber or being "too low" diminishes the performance aspect of the car and I do not care. I do not race or track my car, so there is no point in making my daily driver into a race car because it will never be used for that purpose. Let it go already.

It's actually the complete opposite. Team is the one who gets "itchy" and feels he has to comment on how "wrong" everything he doesn't agree with is. And I don't think he's a bad guy either, he just needs to let it go that not everyone uses their car for the same purpose he does.
