Shifting the subframe can change toe readings since the toe is measured relative to the body, not the subframe, and also the thrust angle at the rear, but not camber.

You might get some camber change by applying inward or outward force when torquing the pivot bolts, how much I'm not sure.

Anyway, do you think this might be the reason car is pulling to right? or alignment being off frequently?
Get it aligned with you in the drivers seat, I bet that 8mm difference is almost gone with your weight in it.

My car lowered 1" (swift sport springs) has -2.1* in the rear (cross camber is dead on with me in the car), no clue what it was at before installing the springs. I doubt you're getting 1* from 8mm difference in height though.
