You can adjust it somewhat to maybe -1 degree for the fronts. The rear are more flexible. Adjusting the front significantly requires removing the camber pin on the top hats for the front.

It's extremely easy...it takes about 5 minutes total once you get the pins out

And taking these pins out will not harm anything correct?

It will be pretty close to -1*
Do you have M3 control arms? Those would bump you slightly above -1*

So with Performance suspension, M3 control arms and Dinan plates I could expect something similar?

With PS, pulled pins, M3 Bits, and Dinan Plates, I am at -2.3* I believe. 235's fit comfortable with only the mild PS drop btw. |

With stock suspension and pins pulled, the most I could get was -0.6 deg in the front.
Yesterday I had Dinan camber plates, M3 tension rods and M3 wishbones installed, and was able to max out at -1.8 deg in the front. |

I believe M3 arms are widely accepted as giving about -.75* camber. Bogart, your numbers for the pin only are higher (more negative that is) than a home else I've seen here. Your numbers with pin and control arms looks about as expected.
In my opinion...starting from only a few tents negative while purely stock, this is about what I got with each mod: Pulled pin = .3* Performance Suspension: .5* M3 arms = .7* Dinan Camber Plates: .7* In terms of best order to install, I'd recommend M3 arms before camber plates because the arms get you the same camber but also stiffer bushings. |
