Time for the 10s.

Theres not really any other way. The relationships between the control arms are what cause the compression camber. The lower the car sits, the faster it cambers in with compression.

Theres not really any other way. The relationships between the control arms are what cause the compression camber. The lower the car sits, the faster it cambers in with compression. You could possibly try and raise the crossmember closer to the chassis to sit a little lower without altering baseline control arm angles, but probably not much at all.

Stiffening up should help some. Reducing weight transfer to the rear will reduce compression. Generally you would want more weight on the tires, but I dont think it helps if it causes so much camber. You would have to experiment and see what works best for you.

In the rear. Stock height, 0 camber, stiff springs, and have shocks on the rear that have adjustable compression damping. Have the damping set on the stiffest set. This would keep it from squating, BUT you will have issues with weight tranfer. You could have weight transfer with shocks in the front that lets you adjust the rebound damping. You would adjust that to the softest setting. This will let the front come up quickly, loading the rear.

try taking off the front strut brace to allow better weight transfer(in theory)
