Algorithm? Correlation between ride height and camber angle

[SiReal]

Bit of a difficult one, what is the rate of decline in relation to ride height and camber angle? e.g. for every 1mm lowered, camber decreases by 0.xyz degrees.

In particular rear wheels on a dc2.

Currently LEFT -1.50 RIGHT -2.15

I want to raise the rear RIGHT to be equal to -1.50. which is ~.6degrees. So how many mm of raising does this equate to? Algorithm?

I have measured wheel hub to fender and they are close to equal on both sides.

Any clues?

Due to deformation of bushes and wear and tear of upper and lower control arms , this is impossible to put into an equation. It's trial and error.

IE lower/raise set amount , remeasure camber and so on

Thanks Ben, I figured as such but it was worth throwing it out there.

I'l have to resort to a brick layers level for guestimates prior to taking it to the tyre shop.

Cheers again.

Nice long set square does the job. You can work out camber fairly accurately.

the best way to do it is get the car corner balanced and the adjust your camber to what you want with adjustable upper arms. Its the only real way to get a perfect setup.

once corner balanced your cars height will be different at each corner, so you need the adjustable arms to correct/dial in the camber that you're after.

If you just adjust the heigh to get the correct camber you're going to end up with a terribly unbalanced car.
