Default Lowered rear 10mm how does this effect camber

I had a geo done, rear toe in each side 1.1mm. Camber each negative -02deg 04min. Since the geo I lowered the rears by 10mm. My question is what will happen to the Camber will the negative camber that I have increase or decrease, also will it have effected toe, and if so which way?

your camber will increase....probably 1 degree to 2 degrees, anytime you unbolt the suspension you need an alignment cuz everything gets messed up

Thanks for the advice, I didn't unbolt anything just adjusted the coilovers.

Does it affect toe?

Why would I want an allignment if I am happy with the extra 1 deg of neg camber. Nothing would have changed except the camber and if I am happy with 1 deg extra then the geo would tell me that I have 1 deg extra camber, what I know allready, just a waste of time and money. Remember I just had an allignment to put everything as I wanted it, then all I did was lower the rear coilovers by 10mm, this is what adjustable coilovers are for, no need to dismantle the suspension. I could just as easily go back to what it was, increasing height 10mm, don't tell me I need yet another allignment because I've gone back to where I started, because I don't

Now to get back to my question is the increase in negative camber 1 or 2 or how many degrees, and does the 10mm drop effect toe?

Gurus please
