What's the most - camber you can go at stock ride height ? Without pulling washers, and making major changes.
I track & street, so I'm not going crazy with negative camber, and ride height changes.

When you adjust rear camber you have to adjust rear caster. And you will need this to do it.

In the front you can get up to -2 without pulling one shim from behind the UCA dogbones. In TSB 16-NA-056 (Track and Competitive Driving Wheel Alignment Tips) GM says to pull one shim in the front if trying to get to -2.

I replaced all shims with thin 1/64" trim spacer from harbor freight, and I was able to get to about -3 up front, and -2 at rear while still retaining good toe and caster at the rear without having to use aftermarket toe links.
