Note: Negative camber gain in bump is desirable for cornering grip. Double wishbone designs with a shorter upper arm provide favorable camber change through body roll.

Reference

Camber Gain ≈ arctan((Lower L - Upper L) / (Spacing x Lower L)) Camber at Bump = Static + Gain Rate x Travel Camber at Droop = Static - Gain Rate x Travel Shorter upper arm = more negative camber gain in bump Total Change = |Bump Camber - Droop Camber|
