If I can get -2° front and rear on my BRZ with only camber bolts and lowering the car 1" I'll be pretty OK with that.
If your car offers enough range of adjustment, then you don't have to max it out. My NC is at -2.4° front and -2.1° rear, and I've been at least 0.2° more than that. On that car, you want to run less static camber in the rear, due to the steeper camber curve of the 5-link setup, so if I were stuck at the max camber in the rear--I don't even know what that is, because I've never needed it--I'd have less drive on the straights. Adjustability is imperative.
