Camber on stock suspension arms
I recently bought a wheel setup that is going to require camber in the rear to fit under the fenders after lowering. I got the fenders rolled the other day since my friend had a fender roller at his place, but I want to know how much camber can I have dialed in with the stock suspension arms? Will I need to upgrade to aftermarket arms for more adjustablitly after I lower the car?
For reference, the wheels I got were the wheels that Kavyan Pour had for sale. They are Enkei 17x7.5 in the front 17x8 rear with 215-45-17 and 245-40-17 sized tires. I don't know the offsets offhand but I do know that they are aggressive to say the least. I also plan on lowering the car with a coilover set up to allow for more height adjustablity. Now the thing is, on stock height, my passenger side rear tire seems to have a little bit more negative camber than the driver side and this is enough to put the edge of the tire inside the fender. So I am thinking that it is possible to do on stock arms but am not completely sure.

Oh I know that I am going to need a good amount of camber. I'm not afraid of that at all, I just want to know if I will be able to hit those numbers with stock arms. When I had my s14, you needed adjustable arms to get the camber needed to fit aggresive offset wheels and I was wondering if it is the same for the s2000.

Oh i see. Yea, you can do it on the stock arms no problem at all. S2k's can handle alot of negative camber.
PM rijowysock for any questions. he knows alot, i think he is at -4 in the rear on stock arms.

as far as i observe our suspension, once you lower the car theres a possibility you can get more camber on both front and rear compared to stock ride height. since your planning to lower the car,you can add more camber. right now im running -1.5 front and -3 rear and still i notice i can add more if i want to.

Sweet. I was hoping that there would be some adjustablity but am surprised to hear how much I can get. Looking forward to getting everything lowered and setup.
