Driving with lifted suspension button

Is it ok to drive for long periods of time with the lifted suspension button (dont know what its called, sorry).

The reason i ask is because i took the car i just bought to a shop to get the alignment done and they said my camber is horrible and i need to lift it to get it corrected. I said i dont really wanna lift it cause i like how it looks. They suggestd that i could fix more than half of the camber issue by driving it with that button on.

So ive been driving it like that for over a week and im just wondering if its ok to drive like that.

Thanks

No, you will get too much air under the car at higher speeds thus creating unstable handling

The car will lower itself at speed anyway, so it will not make a difference. I don't see how it will "fix" the camber issue anyway.

K-mac camber kits, not cheap, but cheaper than tires. I have never used them, but i read alot of people do most of them are track goers...
