Stock Camber Adjustment
 
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how adjustable the camber is on a stock 8.
I've looked it up and no one seems to give a solid answer. My rears already have a noticeable amount of camber,
does anyone know how many degrees the stock has already?
Thanks :D

The range of adjustment depends on ride height, a lowered car will be able to get more negative camber than a stock height car, but that also means that the lowered car might not be able to dial out all the negative camber it gained from lowering.

The shop manual has stock alignment settings in it as well as step by step instructions on how it's adjusted. That's a good place to start reading. There is also lots of discussion here on what numbers people are using for a performance based alignment, which might interest you as well.

i was able to get -1.8 on the fronts - ended up setting my rears at -1.4 based on being able to get the fronts to -1.8 if that helps. Stock suspension and ride height on an S2 R3 though.

Wow, I got to about -2.5 on my stock R3 in front, -2.0 in the rear.

If you're lowered, you can get more than at stock ride height. The suspension geometry introduces camber when compressed/lowered.

Like I said, stock R3, so little lower than a regular RX8, but still 100% stock suspension at the time. One can also sacrifice caster if necessary to get more camber.
