Default Confusion over camber kit degree ranges

I'm looking to increase negative camber in my rear for my 4th gen because I will be going even lower soon (~3") and will rub with my wheels if left at natural camber (+42 offset on the wheels).

I'd like to go lower than -2 degrees but the Ingalls camber kits don't go that low! Or at least thats what the specs seem to say: "+1.5 to +3"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

Does the + sign mean the kit only allows for POSITIVE correction??

??? Color me confused.

If you're concerned about wheel fitment, you'd be better off rolling your fenders than trying to fix it with camber for a DD. And yes, the camber kit is meant to apply a positive offset to counteract the negative offset that is induced by lowering the car, to return the camber to 0. You can check http://www.ingallseng.com for all their products, but I didn't see anything to apply more negative camber on the rear of a 4th gen...

Unfortunately the rear pass of my car was in a previous accident and the pass side is full of shoddy bondo work, making fender rolling impossible without cracking the paint.

So there's no way of inducing negative camber for 4th gens in the rear?

Wow man, sound like your going in the wrong direction real quick. That much negitive camber is going to kill your tires and ride/traction.

I would either get some wheels that fit better or raise the car up.

I don't mind the ride, and its just a DD. If theres no way to add camber then I'll just leave it non-slammed. No biggie
