Strut suspensions don't change camber much with height. Max camber with any strut will be when the LCA is level with the ground, ball joint at furthest distance from subframe. So full bump or full droop, the arc of the LCA puts the ball joint a few mm closer to subframe, which reduces camber by only a small fraction. Not like a wishbone or multi link where you can engineer in radical camber curves.

Technically, most strut cars lose camber as you lower them because the LCA's are tilted up, putting the ball joint closer to the subframe. One of several reasons we strongly recommend RCA (Roll Center Adjusters) on any 86 if you're lowering it. Blub uses the Whiteline kit and it's an integral part of its set up.
