With the RS running front McPhearson struts and wishbone rear suspension they act totally different when being lowered or compressed. On the RS with the front suspension at normal ride height the negstive camber will actually increase (more negative) for a short distance as the tire moves upward and the axle becomes parallel with the ground. After that point the it starts losing negative camber. On a lowered car, as the axle exceeds the point of being parallel to the ground at static height the camber will decreases as the suspension compresses. This is all normal for McPheason struts but a lowered car will feel much better at moderate cornering speeds but not as good at the limits. With a modest drop, say of 1/2", it should not create I'll handling, especially if stiffer swaybars are added to resist roll (deflection) at the limits.
Lowering the rear wishbone suspension increases negative camber as the suspension moves upward..which is generally good for cornering. The potential challenge is that with lowering the static gain can become excessive. Since the RS has no dedicated adjustment for camber it is possible that after lowering rear camber can exceed -1.5 or even -2 deg depending on the amount of lowering. The result having excessive rear negative camber is that it actually worsens the handling, creating push. Ideally rear camber should be under -1 deg, and less if you are an aggressive driver.
My initial question is an effort to gather info on how much the camber is affected (front and rear) in order to assess what, if any changes are required to actually improve the handling while lowering the car.
