Dtm: I've read an article about camber change a lot time ago and may be this can explain:
With a longer link, the camber change is really reduced. This induced that less weight is forced on the tires under tire deformation -> tire will not slide out so easily (more traction). But if you throttle more and the tire will come to a point to slide out "violently" (less stability)...

Please correct me if I'm wrong!! What's your opinion??
