by lowest do you mean how far negative? if so it depends how low you are. if your stock hight i think it gives almost a degree of adjustment

On a Journey, S or X?

My G37S sedan
1.2" lower rear and they dialed the toe to 0.11 and the camber to -1.9L and -1.7R
1.5" lower front and they dialed the toe to 0.05 and the camber to -1.4L and -1.9R

I know someone that dialed in -4.2 in the rear on stock camber arms. The purpose of the camber kit is to dial camber back to safe specs, so i'm sure it has a wide range of adjustability.

^ the problem with that is that we want the stock to be more adjustable positively not negatively. Being able to go -4.2 (stock) doesn't help when lowering. It might help if we added a lift kit
The positive rear camber adjustment on the stock suspension isn't very much and on the front it's almost nothing.

I just installed my swift springs on my AWD and had the alignment done. The toe is good but the Front camber is -2.0 left and -2.2 on the right. The back is -1.6 left and -1.8 on right.

How far off is this? Is the camber kit required for front and back?
