1. If I understand you correctly you're helping my argument, adding camber raises the car, positive or negative. And I would go do this now if my car wasn't 1300 miles away.
2. I have measured the distance of my crossmember and rear subframe, removed camber, then measured again. The car was lower after I took the camber out.

Also, rounded edges won't contribute to nearly a full inch of ride height difference.



It raised the car. Fender to ground distance is higher. By almost an inch. I had to get helper springs for my coilovers to I could lower my car back to down to it's desired ride height, since I had to droop the spring to go lower.

From my personal experience, adding camber has lowered my car, and taking camber out has raised it. No diagram or math explained over the internet will refute my personal experiences with camber change.
First of all, thank you for not being an ass.. Second, I can't explain how pulling camber out of your car would make it rise, I'm not educated on the front suspension of a z32.. Is it different? If it is that could be the reason. What I know is that I have pulled camber out of my car, made measurements relative to the subframe and crossmember, and done the math, and after doing all this I have come upon the conclusion that adding camber raises the car.
