2005 Rear Suspension Adjustment

Recently I lowered my MCSC with M7 springs. I knew the rear camber would be somewhat effected so I took it in to see by how much. The rear camber was measured to be -2.5 degrees on the left and -2.3 on the right. It turns out though that the rear cam bolts don't allow for too much adjustment and were already set to near their positive limit. I had to settle for -2.3 on each side. He did say however that an aftermarket company shouldn't have too much trouble developing a cam that would provide more adjustment. Would save the expense of buying control arms.

Do you think there's enough adjustability there to dial in a degree of extra negative camber for the track even without lowering?

There is a good chance that you will be able to pick up a degree of negative camber. While I was watching him adjust the camber he was able to get a negative 3.3 before moving back in a positive direction.
