I might look at raising it about 5mm though I don't have any clearance issues becoz I can't get my front to be less than -2.6 camber

I was at -2.17 degrees for a lot of years in my REAR tires, and it was clear my tire wear was very heavy on the inside.
Not sure why you need so much camber in your fronts.
The CAMBER SPEC for our cars is: FRONTS should be at -0.17 degrees camber. The REARS should be between -0.92 and -0.25 degrees camber.
Since I was in a similar situation as Hsianers, and I thought I was a tad low like his, recently (couple months ago) I wanted to raise my ride height slightly. Same shock & spring setup.
I am on RH3.6 rims with the rear rim at 18 x 10", and ET54, plus 285/30R18 Potenza SO4's.
I was able to raise the car about 6mm (~1/4 inch), and adjust the camber down to a more tolerable -1.8 degrees. I definitely like the reduced camber look, and I do not rub even with a load of people in the car, and heavy throttle hard in the corners.
Depending on your ET, I agree that Hsianers may want to raise the car & reduce the camber.
tcsracing1, to help us answer your question, give us more on your new setup (rim, tire, ET & current camber degrees).
.... To help you, and give you something to compare against (since you are still at orig 4x4 height, and on the OEM 17's), my height measurement from the ground to the top of rear fender lip, is slightly higher than 25".
mmporsche's car now looks great & pretty low. So it might help you guys if he gave you his Rim size, Tire size, ET, Camber setup & height from ground to fender lip, to compare.
Hope this helps.

Ride height looks great.
I have the 18" RH wheels.
I might have access to B6 shocks.
All i would need is H&R reds.
Realistically, if i can get down to euro RS height, im happy

My optimum camber for the fronts is probably no more than -1. But for whatever reason after adjusting the ride height on the new shocks and springs, this is the least I can go - -2.6. Given everything else is stock, still don't quite understand why I am unable to make any further adjustments. Hopefully raising the car (somewhere between 0.25" and 0.5') will allow the camber to be reduced.
I don't have exact measurements, but understand that it is below RS height. I was originally looking for RS + 5mm. At this currently lowered height, I strangely don't have clearance issues, which is a nice surprise.

I installed my 18" wheels today.
The car is currently on stock suspension therefore it really wants to come down to look right on these wheels.
Can anybody tell me who makes these wheels?
And what size tires are you using on your RH wheels? (I currently have 235/35/18 , 285/30/18)

Based on your photos, other than the dimensions and offset the only other marks are JWL, Japan Light Wheel Alloy and P.C.D which is Pitch circle Diameter......
Not much to go on based on that.....can you find any other mark or logo?

I had the ride height adjusted upward 3/4 of an inch and it looks much better and has less bump steer. Now I just need some spacers. I am thinking 5mm in the rear and at least 7mm in the front. Will I need to install longer studs if I go 7mm or 10mm spacers in the front?
