lowering the car moves camber to / too negative

it is very common
for me
to see lowered cars with smoked tires , smoked on the inside , due to the camber change caused by those
"professional" springs that have been installed in VWs without the follow up of correctly adjusting the camber back to where the specification shows that it belongs

FRONT camber in later VWs is very much UN adjustable on otherwise stock cars.

as a rule
the aftermarket performance springs are pure crap , and sag more after a short amount of use. rendering the car not usable for many normal activities

, yes
it seems like a good idea , but there is more to it than shorter springs
