Default Lowering vs neg camber

How does lowering (with a flatter spring and or shim removal) on a c4 change the neg camber that you have already set?

TIA

It increases it. How much will vary by car and by how far you lower the car, but a quarter to a half degree seems to be typical.

There ARE legal ways, I'll give you just ONE example. Let's say your oem spring fails (delamination - happens all the time). You could get a brand new spring from the dealer all curved & bouncy & fresh rubber bit's attached (I am assuming you know how the parts of the spring look & how it's made) or you could get a good used one out of a salvage yard with 175k miles on it......
