im lowered about 1.25 inches, but gonna raise it about .5 inches and want to dial the rear camber to about -1, or possibly closer to 0 if possible...

not boosted yet, still waiting for F.I. to ship me the kit...

A 0.5" difference in Diameter "might" be enough to confuse the traction/stability control .... you could try it but if you get a slip light, you;ll need new fronts as well ... makes the change a bit pricey tho ...

My experience has been that the system relearns/adapts to changing tire diameters.

Several years ago I put a 25.5" front tire on (compared to stock 26.7"), with a rear 26.3 (compared to stock 26.5").

For only a moment, the VDC system was activating while trying to drive straight and the car would barely drive, then after a block or two everything was back to normal. Maybe I turned the car off and back on I dont remember. But either way, that was it.
