In the rear yes if at stock ride height its about 1.25* in or out give or take a little depending on the state of your control arm bushings, stock front is unadjustable, youd have to purchase crash/camber bolts, in which case 1 set usually will get you +-1.5* and both will get you +-2.75 to 3*

yeah 2 sets of what you posted in the link, they replace the strut-to-hub bolts in your current setup. as far as the rear goes if youre lowered and cant attain the proper camber using the stock bolts youd have to purchase lengthened upper arms to help push your camber back out.

I dropped my tC 1.5" and they were able to zero the camber on the rear and front tires. In fact they got the front to about -0.8*.

yes, dropping in the rear would add more negative camber due to the suspension geometry. it is quite possible that like me you made it outside the effective range of the stock rear bolt adjustment range, to where even when its set at full positive, you still have negative camber because of the drop. general rule ive found with our cars in the rear is that 1in drop is about proportional to 1* added negative camber.

SeargentBiscuit - that makes sense for the most part, the 1.25 is the average adjustability, it can be higher or lower between vehicles. infact, in the rear on my car its different between sides. i can go between 0 to -3* on the left and between -.5 and -3.2* on the right. no bent suspension components either. now im confused as to how they adjusted the front camber unless you had camber bolts or adjustable strut mounts from a coilover setup. however on a 1.5in drop id take the added camber and leave it, and just adjust the toe to spec. thats just me tho.
