No to both on a stock suspension. There is actually a small amount of play of which you can take advantage to minimally adjust camber.

even with camber plates that allow the necessary adjustment range? there are (for auto-x and road racing alike) advantages to camber and caster changes.

If your going to spend the money, buy the ground control plates. They are the best that I've seen. They alow for both camber and caster adjustments. The other reason I like them is that they mount on top. This gives your more travel in your front struts when the car is lowered. The only way you are going to get much camber is if you run coil overs , so you have a smaller diameter spring. Camber help alot with handeling, nomatter what your doing with the car.
