Default 997 GT3 front camber

Does anyone know how much negative camber we can get with the 997 GT3 without using shims? I was looking for 2 1/2-3 degrees negative in the front for track use. To get that, do we need shims or with the stock set up can we dial this camber in? I have heard that to get 2-3 degrees we have to order out shims. If I need them I want to order them before I go to my dealer.

Has anyone actually done this to their car yet?

Thanks

I read somewhere here about people getting only 1.6/1.7 deg. neg. camber in the front on the GT3... I find that awkward since I can get 1.8 deg. neg camber in front on my C2S without shims (got H&R lowering springs though) and the GT3 is supposed to have more alignment adjustability!

How come?

I'm not sure either, that is why I am asking before my car gets here. My dealer so far isn't much help. I thought the GT3 should have more camber available to dial in but from what I hear it's not true.

I had my camber changed for the track. I have -2.03 in the front and -2.37 in the back. Looknig at the bill from my mechanic I do not see any shims so I suppose there is none. For what it is worth!

I thought the GT3 had camber plates that could be turned to get more camber if needed. Anyone know if that is true. Generally for track use we would need to get more front end camber, like 2 and 1/2 to 3 degrees.

The 997 GT3 uses the same front upper strut mounts that can be turn and give you -2+ degrees before any shims are needed..
