can anyone explain the effect of the inclination angles on the overall calibration of the height?

The inclination angle referred to is not the wheel camber. Instead, IIRC, its the angle of the control arm relative to the ground plane.

go back into it and set the fronts at -1.1 and rear at -0.8

i was trying to calibrate the car and i inserted all the values to 0 now the car is high from the front and low from the rear. If i put the mentioned values it will go great?

Hold on 1 minute...
 
How can a computer valued input of numbers due to the inclination values have any effect when its all mechanic based struts/bolts??
Explain that to me pliz... Have a hard time understanding the real effect of any inputs as long ad they are inbetween the diagnostic aproval values and nothing more done than just meet the accepted values in the diagnostic tool 🤷‍♂️

I can do the real lowering by remote
$175
any height

No need for that thank you. I have autel and a obd lowering module..
its the Inclenation crap i dont understand the meaning of... As long its in the set values its ok.. like... i can put whatever aslong its inside the right values..

Could it be like this: The computer uses the angle when setting ride height post-calibration for the modes that were not calibrated?
Depending on the angle, the applicable ride height in a corner will differ even if the sensor reports the same voltage value if there is a difference in angle (nonlinear -> thus, the computer cannot just add the offset as calculated during calibration to the other modes).
If you have a steeper angle, e.g., 1.8 vs. 0 degrees, you would need higher voltage (a.k.a more air) from the sensor to reach the same height for the strut with an angle (Pythagoras would know this).
Adding the "angle" ensures that the relative ride height between the wheels is kept in all ride modes that affect the ride height, which are "Raised+Comfort," "Comfort (the one being calibrated), and "Sport."
When you calibrate, my take is to calibrate the mode: Comfort.
