I recently pulled the spring on my car and cycled the suspension 1/2" at a time, measuring camber and toe at each step. I found that there is a rapid change in rear camber after the suspension compresses about an inch (from M5 height).

I'm keeping the LAD, it keeps this from happening when passengers and luggage are on board.

Also, the LAD detects load using the center of the sway bar, so it is not activated by cornering loads.
