Stock alignment specs?
Oooooh you're right, my apologies! I forgot I have a lowered car which inherently increases the negative camber. My bad!

And to answer above - if you go out of OEM specs, you will need not just camber arms, but toe arms as well. Aftermarket camber arms will allow more or less aggresive camber, but will pull the toe setting out of alignment and just using the stock eccentric screw to adjust it will not be enough.

I’m on Stillen sway bars so I’ve actually increased rear to front in terms of % increase from stock. I know the go to is hotchkiss front and no rear but I tested setting the Stillen full stiff front and full soft rear and it wasn’t for me, just seemed steering response was gone and car only wanted to push.

Full setup will be powertrix ultralites lowered 1-1.25”, z1 forged upper arms with poly bushings, z1 rear camber arms with poly bushings, spc toe bolts and Stillen sway bars. Stock rays sports with either 10mm spacers (currently) or 20mm once I test for them. Looking for a setup that be good for hpde days a few times a year and then not destroy the tires on the street.
