You'll have to check my car out Eric. Alex and I have have very different styles, and very different setups.
Raising your camber link (aka: adding washers under the inner stud) will lower your roll center. This is where it gets confusing, lowering your rollcenter will actually make your car roll more in the corner. This roll is what transfers more weight to the outside tires, and creates traction.
By removing washers you've raised your roll center (lowered the camber link), which decreases roll through the corner. By decreasing roll, your car will rotate more through the turn, but if you go in too hot, the rear end will wash out because you don't have enough weight transferred to the outside wheel.
A secondary effect of messing with roll centers is a change on camber gain. Usually, compressing the suspension results in a slight (negative) camber gain. If your car has a lot of roll, but little camber gain, it'll suck. If your car has little roll, and a lot of camber gain, it'll suck again.
It's all a balancing act. I can show you better than I can tell you, but you guys are free to try my B4 with the shorty whenever you'd like.
p.s. Adding weight to the front will decrease your forward bite, as it'll take longer for weight to transfer to the rear wheels, and ultimately, there will be less weight transferred. I've actually been thinking about going back to the plastic steering rack to get a bit more forward bite. My car feels really balanced to me at the moment though. Almost like my mid motor cougar did, but with more forward traction.
edit: I'm running black springs up front and white out back. I had greens in the rear, and steering was great, but forward bite was non-existant.
