Default Stock suspension, is it possible to set my rear camber to 0 without a kit?

I am going drag racing soon and want my rear camber to be 0 for the event. From what I have researched many say that there isn't much adjustability in the rear camber. Those who have asked about it have lowered their car but I haven't so is 0 possible for me? I have seen some rear camber kits on ebay and other vendors that give about +/- 4 degrees, are these fairly easy to install if I need to go this way? Thanks in advance.

Just as a tip... you may want to go slightly positive camber. When the rear squats, there is quite a bit of camber change towards negative. Ask the guys in the drag forums how much they would/do run.

If you are looking for truly, drag oriented camber I would +.3/+.5. As stated....the weight transfer will cause the wheels to squat. Also.....you will want to make sure your toe is zeroed as well.

Thanks guys, I was thinking about doing the slightly positive too. Guess I'm just wondering if even 0 camber is possible with the stock components and positive .3-.5 would be even better as I'm just doing this for the track and will set things back to stock after. Also, thanks for the tip on the zeroing the toe also, hopefully this will eliminate most of my wheel hop and make my car hook up better. Does anyone know if you can zero these things out with the stock components? The sticky tells you how to adjust this but I'm not sure of the stock limitations.

You will probably need aftermarket camber/toe kit......it's cheap for the rear anyway.
