it is not height, but lateral movement. On most cars the tires will bow in when lowering. Though it is usually both that camber in, usually either the front or the rear camber more. when it says degrees of adjustment that means how far it can adjust. a 2 degree camber kit will adjust MORE than a 1 degree camber kit.

Camber is the lean of the wheel. If the top of the wheel tilted away from the car, that is called positive camber. If the top of the wheel is tilted in towards the car, that is called negative camber. Camber can cause a pull to one side or the other depending on the direction of the lean. The car will pull in the direction of the wheel with the most positive camber. However, if both sides have the same amount of negative or positive camber, they will cancel each other out and the car will not pull. Camber can cause premature tire wear, but is not as hard on tires as toe is.

Basically 1 degree includes 1 pair of camber bolts
2 degree includes 2 pairs. This is for the front..
All you really need is 1 pair up front if that.
The rear depends on which company but they all adjust far enough
