If you are at a performance ride height of ~25 1/2" to the top of the fender arch (about an inch lower than stock?) then the most you can get is around -2.4 deg camber up front.
If you are slammed to a good looking ride height you can get over -3 degrees camber up front static because of the camber gain in the suspension.

1993 base R1 upgrade ....TSW Valencia wheels (painted gunmetal) 18x9.5 +40 rear 275x35x18 tire. 18x8 +40 front 255x35x18 tire. Eibach springs lowered 1". rolled front fenders. After looking at all the other FD's mine looks high....even lowered an inch!

How much did you roll your fenders? Are the inner fender lips completely flat ("l" profile), or do they still have a bit of "v" profile?
I assume (since I see none) that there was no pull of either front or rear fenders?
Thanks! Trying to figure out what I can fit within stock fenders, both rolled and un-rolled...

Can't edit my previous post so I wil update that like narfle and the forum guide said, 18x9.5 offset +38 wrapped in 255-35-18 WILL rub in the front, looks like after some miles my suspesion settle and now in really big bumps it will rub just a little but definitely will rub and the height from ground to the top of my wheel arch is 25.6" front.
Where on the fender is it rubbing? Any photos? Is it just the fender liner, or the metal portion of the fender?
Have you since rolled the fenders, and what do you plan to do to mitigate the rubbing?
Are the rears OK so far?
Sorry for the vomit of questions... I'm still in sponge-mode for the FD!
hanks in advance!!

Can anyone say (roughly) how much space there is between the fender liner and the sheet metal of the fender and inner fender?
i.e. if one were to remove the fender liner, how much travel would we be gaining (before the tire is scraping the metal)?
TIA!

Not much you can do up front without rolling the fender lip under- its just likely to catch and pull a crease in the fender if you try to flush it up with a spacer.
If you roll the fender lip under you could probably run a 15mm spacer with stock camber.

I´am done, CE28N 17x8 ET 44 with 15mm front and 17x8 ET44 with 25mm on back. stock 94 suspension with Tein lowering spring kit. fits nice, no rubing. no fender rolling. I was try some hard cornering in high speed with no problem. This teins springs are great. front is 63,5cm high and rear 65,5.
i just need set proper alligment left to right and it will be done. i like the pettit one. -0,9 front and -0,5back. maybe a little bit more.
