Tony is correct about roll center. Lowering the inner link and/or raising the outer link actually gives you **more** roll (lower roll center), as the center of gravity is travling along a larger arc during lateral weight transfer. This gives more mid-corner grip at the expense of steering responsiveness.

I took a look at the Hudy setup guide that John printed out. Overall it's not bad, but I found a few errors or at least points of contention, as well as some things being left out (e.g., spindle carrier position). I prefer to rely on my understanding of physics and geometry.
Look at the Hudy setup book that was linked above, it's a pretty good.
