If I'm lowering 30mm, will I still get to 0 toe all round by just adjusting stock toe links?

If I'm not mistaken, I didn't think anything in the rear was adjustable without swapping out?

I don't know....I thought I saw someone mention that the toes can be adjusted? I just wanted to know what are the adjustment limits on stock suspension, and whether it's possible to get the toe setting back to (or as close to) zero?

And what about adjusting rear camber on stock suspension...is it possible?

There is no rear camber adjustment on stock suspension. You can dial toe back to zero if necessary with a good alignment guy. We've done this many times.

You will not have a large negative impact running -2 degrees of camber. The bigger issue is toe angle. Bring it to 0. Toe is what wears out your tires as it scrubs the tires...think of sliding your foot forward while pigeon toed.

So by dialing the rear toe back to zero (or close to zero) would this naturally reduce the neg camber as well?

Reason being if im going to drop my ride height by 30mm from stock, which I gather will give me about -2 rear camber, I'd like to set my rear toe to zero and camber to about -1.3 range. Do you think this is achievable?

That's too much of a change. You will need a rear LCA to get to -1.3 at 30mm drop.
