Lowered camber plates

apparently the front of the car sits lower with the camber plates, here is picture of my car with GC camber plates, otherwise all stock suspension

Or it may just appear to be lower, as the upper leading edge of the tire is canted further creating a shadow.

yeah that's what I thought once I noticed the change, but actually have measured the car height of the ground, it sits a half inch lower in the front, and then a simple geometry rule supports that - changing the angle will affect the height, eg if camber was changed to 45' will it be much closer the ground?

The closer the top of the struts move to the centre of the car the lower the car will be. I didn't think it would be that much though for the amount of camber dialled in. Do u know if the GC stack height is less than the oem hats?

yep the GC plates and the stock strut mounts have exactly the same stack height, I had them side by side, I'm really happy with the outcome, I rechecked again the difference between the front and rear height (measuring from the rocker panel) is 3/4"
