What I`m interested in, what is the benefit for having higher RC but with the lower arm mounted far more toward up from the bottom of chassis. I mean, when the lower arm is now mounted on its highest point, the weight of the rear (CG?) is somehow lower. Does it then generate more tracktion??
I don't think there is any difference with regards to how the weight of the car is located with the location of the rear bottom arm. If there is, it's probably very insignificant.

Higher RC in the rear makes the rear part resist rolling. The apparent result would make the rear loose and your car will have more steering.

Try it out and you'll know what I mean. I tried it once following what Michael did in Thailand and the rear of the car was loose at the local track I tried on.
