Good points but also have to take into consideration you’re jumping spring rates quiet a bit and also when bringing camber back into spec you’re shortening the lower arm (in the case of the rear) so now the upper and lower arms are closer in length to each other so you’re also changing the curve. Same happens for the front but instead you’re lengthening the upper arm. So all these things combined is typically why you run higher static angles (at least in other platforms) as there’s less geometry changes (especially when adding stiffer sways) so now the tires and tire roll have a great effect.
