Camber plates and ride height???

Curious before i put in my new suspension

Strickly speaking with stock suspension, non-coilovers.

How much would adding camber plates add to the ride height?
i know it's not much, but i'm looking for a number.
5mm?
10mm?

Can someone help me out on this?

My tein camber plates raised the car about a half inch. It was noticeable and looked like crap.

Some newer ones may only raise it 1/4 inch.

My opinion... don't do it. Get a middle of the road set of coil overs with camber plates or go with aftermarket springs and skip the plates. Once lowered you'll be able to get more camber than with the stock spring. Otherwise you can try an additional camber bolt. These are a tad thinner than stock but many people use them without issue.

Cusco plates on our GTWorx springs looked alright. Our springs lower a little bit more up front though, so it wasn't super *** saggy.

Yeah, around that. Note that you can small differences depending on your camber settings.
