Default How much does front camber change on a decent drop?

Hay guys,
I'm getting ready to air down my 350z and i was wondering if anyone has slammed there car with factory front A arms. (no camber kit) Im planning on running SPL camber in the front but I had the thought that by chance the camber could be where I want it without spending the $650 on arms. Car is a daily/stance and will never see the track. Anyone know how much the camber changed in the front on a decent drop?
Thanks!

(I understand that camber will tear through tires, I understand that air is a downgrade in most peoples eyes, ect. Just hoping for some experience/advice)

There are a few camber kids running stock front arms, look in the poke and stretch thread in the wheel n tire section

thank you for your input but i may have worded my question wrong. Simply put, how much negative camber will my car have is I slam it on stock parts excluding bags. I have rear camber kits but my question is for the front only. I honest have no idea, it could be 1 degree, it could be 10. Thanks!

Once again, look at the wheel and tire section, there are many people slammed on stock front arms. I believe some of them are between -4 and -6 degrees.

A 1 inch front drop gets you around -2 front camber for example.

1) What do you consider a "decent" drop?
2) What will your drive height be? (since you're on bags, I assume you're going to have an aired out height and a drive height).

There is no "set-amount" that your camber will be. But, expect somewhere between -3 - -9. I've seen them both. I think I'm at -4 right now...er...well..I was. I haven't checked since I changed some things. Gotta get on a machine. But, there isn't a set answer. Hope that helps some.
