Thanks in advance for confirming this.
Another way to ask, on stock suspension how much negative camber is possible with Camber Plates without rubbing the End Links?

I have exactly that issue (Bilstein B6 struts). With the camber plates at the max negative position, the end link contacts the inside of the wheel well. I'm getting about 2.5 degrees from the camber plates and another 1 degree at the upright.
I swapped out the end links for studded rod ends from FK (FKB-CM12M, or FKB-CML12M for left hand thread). The rod ends have to tolerate a high misalignment angle because the upper mount is on the strut and rotates with it--and these just
barely work.
I used the Velox plates. They raise the ride height almost 1/2" in the middle position and just under 3/8" at max negative. That forced me to swap the O.E. springs for lowering springs and then put top strut spacers (from Subtle Solutions) in the rear to level things out.
BTW, if you reverse the right and left positions of the Velox plates, you can gain 1.2 degrees of caster in the max position which I found very helpful.
