Looking for a kit that can camber -5 to +5 all 4 wheels. The car is a race car and I want to put camber to my wheels for a 32 dergee circle race track. All I am finding is -1.5 to +1.5 camber kit I need more than that. If there is not a camber kit out there I can use is there a way to modifiy the stock parts?

2 words, ebay
they dont camber out or in as much as what you want be you can compensate be getting adjustable shocks and struts...soften or stiff it up to what feels good and works out for you....and get the rest of the suspension stuff that is needed to go along with it...
tirerack.com or ebay.com
due to the suspension design, you cannot get that much camber using stock (or stockish) parts.
the 'normal' kit for the front of those cars replace the upper inner pivots.
the "better" kit for that generation gives you a new upper control arm with a sliding upper ball joint (that probably comes from a toyota pickup)
several options are listed here:

both of these designs suck, and honestly shouldn't be used on road going vehicles, much less honest race cars.
you are going to need custom upper control arms built. I would suggest finding a shop in your town that deals in hot rods, and is willing/able to look at some custom fabrication. you are going to want something that is made from tubular steel and has a threaded upper ball joint (think about using an appropriately sized tierod end) or you can look at using the sliding upper ball joint from the 88-91 honda prelude. you could also use adjustable bushings at the inner end for more adjustability (look at high quality mustang II retrokits the hot rodders use). however, you need to keep in mind, your upper control arms wrap around the spring/strut assembly, so adjusting those on the fly (or at the track) could be difficult.
look at the blue cusco options here:

that's probably the best design available...and even it sucks. the ball joint usually wants to slide out of adjustment. even when you can get it to stay in place, the overall length of the arm is more than your chassis can handle. the outer edge will end up catching the upper structure, forcing you to rework that section of the car.
in the rear, it's an entirely different story. you don't have an upper control arm like the front, but you still have a moving link. you can build a longer (stronger) version of the adjustable upper now available, but you are going to have to build a smaller adjustable link for the camber compensator that connects to the leading end of the training arms (up by the gas tank). more rod ends and adjustable bushings.
here's a good start...tho it won't get you all the way there:

while getting 10* of adjustment out of that car CAN be done, I have to wonder what the purpose would be. build the car to drive as flat as possible around the corner, and you won't have to compensate for a ton of body roll with those crazy camber settings.
unless, of course, your track has a steep transistion between the apron and the track itself, and you are wanting to split the difference, and ride with your lefts on the apron and rights on the track....but chances are, even if that's the case, your car won't the grunt needed to pull out of the corner, so it'll still be faster running 'flat' around the outside.
