Alright... after playing with my box for a little ... These are my findings

0 offset wheels
Negative Camber Raises car to a point. After some pretty extreme camber it begins to lower it.

Positive Offset Wheels
Negative Camber always Raises height. Until Extreme Camber

Negative Offest Wheels
Raises height until a certain point if close to 0 offset. With a wheel with a greater negative offset it always lowers the height. At what point it raisies and lowers I'm not sure but I believe it's relative to tire width.

did you measure your ride height immediately after you set the car down or did you drive it around to let the coils settle first?...

I had the car like that for weeks. It annoyed the fuck out of me until I finally turned down the collars to go back down.

No.


The angle at which your suspension sits at is going to lower your car far greater than the rise of the tire when you add more negative camber (of which is ONLY going to happen on a HIGH positive offset wheel.

If I gave enough shits I would make a GIF so you could see but as all you guys can do is draw on napkins a spit rhetoric hearsay I'm not wasting my time because the ones of which have actually gone out and done these things are going to know the truth.
