about and inch in the back and 1.5 in the front- set them to Teins suggested starting point, then raised the back 1/2 inch for fender clearance issue with 235 series tires- a little modding makes room for them. Camber readings of neg 1.1 and 1.4 depending on which corner- did not install camber kits and she drives fine- no visable wear and turns great.

the stock tires were 205-60 16 and the new ones are 235-40-18.
The actual rolling diameter is almost the same but they look big with the low profile on larger rims tucked closer to the fenders.

actually 4 1/2 years. Buying a house was a bit more important than moding the car.
