I guess what I'm saying is that with any strut at any ride height your dynamic camber is going to be largely determined by your static setting, regardless of camber gain.
But when you start with the chassis side of the control arm already below the knuckel, the situation only gets worse as you compress the suspension, rather than at least staying neutral for the first inch or two of compression.

...course that can be combatted by simply going with extremely stiff springs, so there's is no compression.
