Default maximum negative camber

I was wondering what the maximum amount of negative camber, both front and rear, you can achieve on a stock ride height, non-ZO6 C5 is. If there were any changes in suspension design or adjustability through the years (i.e. different geometry -not like FE1, F45, Z51, etc.), please indicate which suspension you have. Thank you for your help.

Default Re: maximum negative camber (crznL98)

Approx 2.5 deg front and 1.75 rear. If you lower, as is my car, you can get around 3-3.5 front and just over 2 rear.

It really varries from car to car.

I have a full negative 2 in the rear, but my car is as low as any C5 will get. It is hell on uneven treadwear, but it corners like crazy.
