Positive camber does *slightly* raise height.

Did you clock the bushings when you installed all this?

More positive camber also gives the APPEARANCE of more height.

Time to re-lower and re-align?

Roland is correct once again!

So I followed you're advice ...just got back from the shop and they didn't clock the bushings yesterday, went back today and they put it up on a ramp loosened every nut drove the car Back and forth shook the trunk up and down with bolts loose and after clocked everything while on the ramp, and now the rear is much better .. I didn't know positive camber gives the appearance of being higher I'm gonna take that in to consideration, thanks for the advice Roland really helpful !!! 👍

no problem, m8.

adding positive camber gives the appearance of more height similarly to how more agressive wheels give the appearance of more height.

Imagine a stock height TSX on stock wheels. Now imagine it with 18x9 + 35's.

Or...if you've ever switched from agressive summer wheels back to stock wheels. Car "looks" lower with the less agressive stock wheels.

Adding positive camber makes the wheels look more agressive by pushing them out toward the fender in kind of the same principle.

It also does actually raise the car a tiny bit.

***all of the above about adding positive camber is true until 0 camber. Past 0 camber, you're going past the top of the spindle's arc and reducing height again.
