Jim, my car is lowered quite a bit (2 fingers or so above each tire), and I
have no camber setting problems, in fact, I resently added camber from .5
degree to 1 degree to get more camber.  With both adjustments, the ball joint
sliders and the strut to knuckly play, you should have plenty of camber
adjustment left.
