i run m030 ride height. look at your lower control arms - your car should not be so low that they are horizontal. if they are horizontal, then when you are turning and the outside suspension is compressing, the lca's will travel past horizontal and actually start reducing camber by pulling the bottom of the wheel carrier inwards. race cars actually relocate the inboard attachment points upwards so that they can run lower and maintain suspension geometry.

to fully tune it, determine max suspension compression, then set your ride height such that lca's are horizontal at max compression (ie, if with the springs on your motons you anticipate max 1" of compression, static ride height should be set such that the outboard end of your lca is 1" below horizontal).

and then there is toe, which changes with both camber and ride height (which changes as you compress your suspension) ...
