Hi,
I am sure you mean negative...These cars are a challenge to get negative camber. The most you will get if you remove all shims is about -1.5 on the pass/side and close to 1.25 on the drivers side. To get more on the drivers side I had the bushings (Bushing against frame to A-Arm) machined about 80 thousands.
You can also get off-set lower A-Arm bushings, aftermarket upper A-Arms, and lower the front end.

I will then remove shims to get more negative camber..I my goal is in between 1.5-2 degrees..
So if i lower the car and remove all the round shims on both sides, what would i approximately get?

For camber you would remove the "U" shims. for more camber you can also have the spacers machined down. I haven't done this yet but I'm told to not machine into the conical part of the spacer and to do both equally even though the rear spacer is much thicker.

If you lower also, you should be at the number you want. The off-set lower a-arm bushings would help also.
Someone posted an aftermarket upper a-arm from Guldstrand. This would get all the adjustments we need.
