You have cleared me up, thanks.
This may help:
I took measurements of the car when I was building it and put them all into a roll-centre calculator. I performed a sweep of the lower and upper link positions which is what that table shows.
The one thing missing from the table is the main effect of going from camber link position 1 to position 7. This only has a small effect on the camber gain and initial RC (which adding a 0.5mm shim to the outer ball would pretty much eliminate), but position 7 will cause the RC to drop a lot more as the car rolls. This tends to give a lot of grip, but can make the car feel quite lazy. So good for low grip conditions
