if I increase the right height of my right front coilover the side effects will be that the camber will become more positive and the toe will move outward.

is this right? (I just want to make sure I’m thinking correctly before I adjust)

If the steering rack itself is located behind the front wheels then it should toe out, but if the steering rack is located in front of the front wheels then it should toe in.
