they take a fair amount of whacking or cutting or both. you will need aftermarket cambr bolts or adjustable strut tops. i had some 7 degrees of camber when i fitted mine

Wow...7 degrees camber.

With adjustable coilovers or camber bolts, how much can the negative camber be reduced to??

I'm currently running 3 degrees front and 1.5 degrees rear, but thats because thats how much I want you would be able to real it into something more realistic like 2 front and 0 rear if you wanted, but I am using DMS coilovers, noltec hats with GD control arms, so with stock suspension or different brands your experience may vary

2 degrees -ve camber sounds more reasonable for street use. I'm on JIC coilovers with adjustable strut tops. Should suffice hopefully.

Cheers for the feedback.

You'll need to cut/grind a bit off each side of the tube that goes into the X member, too hard to get them in otherwise.
