Respectfully, my opinion differs. Because of packaging and the desire to reduce angular misalignment with CV axles, the overall bump/rebound travel in performance-oriented IRS systems is often reduced. To make up for the reduced travel, the camber gain is increased. Obviously this isn't a set-in-stone rule, but appears to be a modern trend.
