Lowering it will naturally result in more negative camber. It has a bit to start with and the lower it goes the more negative camber it will have.
I wish I could get my autocrosser so low it has three negative!

Sounds like a plan. I thought that a thicker pad might help but was not sure if my logic was working the right direction. I have the 1 bump pads in the rear so I can go up on the pad thickness easily and then work with the valve lever on the SLS system to get the rear of the car back to the level I wanted, or at least close again. Less negitive camber would be better than the car being exactly the level I have it at now.
The tech a the alignment shop told me negitive 3 degrees, that seems like a lot to me also, but, You can easily see the lean in at the top of the wheels just by looking down the side of the car! Oh, it is easy to break the rear wheels free of the road now too...the inside of the wheels are on the road good, but the outside of the tires must be lifted a little. Not good for inner tire wear.
I will also be looking in to the K-MAC rear camber adjustment kit from Austrailia. It is made to realign cars that are out due to modification or lowering springs. Just not sure if I am to expect it to provide 3 degrees of adjustment. Might work out to get it in specs if I do the camber bushing kit and a thicker spring pad though.
Anyone know of a good suppier for the K-MAC camber kit? I found it at
www.shox.com so far. Ebay also has it for about $250.
