as i was doing my searching the rears can go to -3 with just turing that bolt on the upper control arm so that the small part of the washer faces the inside of the car correct?

really depends on how low you'll be going. an alphard which is 9.5 et 42 needs to be max cambered if you were slammered. your wheel will sit about 14-15mm further away from the fender than that one.....soooooooooo

i would say about 2 degrees should be fine. again it all depends on how low youre going to go

But BRO! Hes got bbs reps. Hes gotta have turbos. What good are bbs reps with out turbos? RICE.

My calculus skills aren't advanced enough to factor in things such as wheels, air ride, and flat brimmed hats into the equations.. That's why we have car show judges
