Check out Tune With Camber Links. It's a great read if you haven't already.

Think of moving the shocks as changing the dampening of the suspension. By moving the shocks inward, you're softening the suspension. Move outward and you are stiffening the suspension. Moving the top of the shock will have a larger effect than moving the bottom. Suspension arm is just a lever with a fulcrum. It doesn't pivot any different whether it is compression from a jump or compression from a turn. You don't get more lateral traction just because the shock has been laid down. The lateral traction increases because the suspension has been softened.

Softening the rear will give more rear traction. Too soft and you'll push on-power.
