    My car had -0.3 degrees front when stock. I dropped coilovers in and lowered height from standard by 3.5". I then had to have camber dialed up further and I run -1.5 on the street at the front. I guess it's vehicle dependant because the DC5 doesn't have camber adjustment from factory and thanks to the IRS it runs -2.5 in the rear. A camber kit is on order.

    This is of course just a guide as I'm sure your results would be different. I think a camber kit would be better in the end anyway. Inducing camber via lowering can be a bit "'haow ya goin?". Lowering your car would also induce rear camber substantially.

    Tein Flex have camber adjustment built in. Installed with setting on zero. Once I lowered the strut length 1.25" I had just -0.2. That means as a blanket generalization you'd need to lower your car 12" to get close to the mark without a camber kit. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!

    Rear induced camber alot easier. Maybe due to higher sussy arms???

    What suspension are you using anyway? Most good coilovers have camber adjustment on the front. They're far from destructable if you choose a reputable brand.

    I take my car to Jax Tyres at Liverpool. Glen and the guys get it spot on before taking the car to the track. Do you DIY camber settings? That's never been accurate enough for my liking.

    "Usually", the front camber doesn't change much with lowering, only the rear. Even on full double wishbone suspension Hondas.
