Lowering via eccentric bolts = more camber right?
I lowered my car a while back, and it seemed to get a whole lot more rear camber. Adjusting the eccentric bolts to lower does normally cause this right? Whereas adjusting with torsion bars doesnt induce and much/any camber?
Been searching but I havent found any info relating to this particular aspect...

When ever you lower the car by any means toe & Camber can also change. How much is fuction if suspension geometry.

No way around it. Lower the car and it will need some alignment work.

Im just dropping rear a bit vs stock for the better looks and because at the stock height I had HUGE squat under acceleration.

lowering the car about 1/2" via the ecentric will add about .5 deg negative camber. Not sure how it impacts toe.
If you want to lower the car more than about 1/2" then you need to re-index the bars. Squat on acceleration has very little to do with ride height , but alot to do with spring rate and some to do with shocks. Sway bars have little to no impact on squat either.

Im saving my pennies for an improved suspension setup with better sways and all that.
