Default increase of height after camber adj.

i'm not looking for a precise number as it won't be possible. Stock rims and tires and stance gr+.
By eye measuring, the rear seems to have more than -3 camber. Front -2.5~-3 camber.
How much the car would raise if it get the front to -2 camber and rear to -1.2 camber?
My Z is kinda slammed for DD and want to keep it that way. So i'll drop more on top of the perfect drop i have so that when the car raises after alignment, i'll have the perfect drop again.

OFF TOPIC: Will i be able to get the rear toe in spec with SPC toe bolts after dropping the rear about 3 inches or more?

You can plug in the numbers here:

side C is overall tire height
angle B is camber

I got front: .82mm and rear .23 mm raise. Can you confirm this?
Front from -2.5 to -2.0 and rear from -3.1 camber to -1.3

This is making me a little dizzy because you have two tire sizes and four camber possibilities. But yes your conclusion sounds reasonable.

So you want to raise the car, get it aligned to your specs and drop it again?

i'll drop the car more than the perfect drop i have. so when the camber goes in to spec, raises the car b/c of lesser negative camber, i'll have perfect drop again.

I have been following your threads in the past week about your suspension install and all the problems. Looks like one pops up after the other. Keep trying. You must have very good roads to slam for DD
