Since those threads we discussed how true type required a different spring rate from divorced type. I wonder if those drivers would have solved their issues by going softer in rear accordingly

It’s specifically BG’s response. It’s about the part where he discussed lowering CG via smaller diameter wheel + tire vs lowering via spring, leading to benefits on keeping a longer suspension stroke (also see how second post mentions lowering too much via spring messes up the roll center), and how he managed the gain in rear toe-OUT under braking (makes the rear end wander) during braking. Add what Rusty said, sort of finicky nature of camber change.
It’s not so much directly related. Just somewhat related.
