Minimum front camber possible?

Minimum front camber possible?
Hi.
What's the least neagtive front camber setting possible on a stock height S2000 with CR shocks and springs fitted?
I want to know beacuse at the moment all my suspension is stock CR on a 1999 car. I track the car four or so times a year and my front camber is maxed at -1.8 degrees each side with max caster. This isn't enough and I'm wearing the outside of my tyres quite a lot compared to the rest of the tread.
I want to fit offset balljoints to get more camber, but I don't want to add any roll centre adjustment as I have standard height suspension. All of the offset balljoints that I've seen pictures of look like they have RCA built into them (J's, Buddyclub, Hardrace and Megan) even if it's not advertised as such. The only ones that don't seem to have RCA built into them are the Spoon ones, but they add -2.5 degrees of camber.
I would like to be able to get my car to have -2.2 maybe -2.6 of camber with offset joints fitted, but if I had Spoon joints fitted would this be possible or would the minimum I could then get be over -3.0 degrees (minimum stock + -2.5)?
So with standard suspension is it possible to adjust the camber to 0 or even to a positive setting or not?
Thanks.

Pretty sure the stock adjusters can be "zeroed out."
Look into SPC ball joints (or similar designs). They install on the upper arm, not the lower arm, and do not affect roll center. They're sold everywhere.

As thomsbrain mentioned, a upper adjustable ball joint sounds like it would meet your needs. The SPC/Eibach set adjusts between + and - 1.5 degrees.
