You are probably right, based on the fact that I have little or no experience with those particular springs. But as I stated earlier, all the People who I have sold Camber Compensators to have been very enthusiastic about the effect it has on their handling.
In one particular case, It is on a Herald Estate wagon and the results in an autocross are very noticeable. Going back to something that Andy Mace said, I too wonder if those were the springs used on the Works Lemans Spitfires. It seems that people racing early Spits are typically using extremely stiff dearched springs with the cars greatly lowered. There is a noticeable negative camber and in those situations, they don't seem to have the wheel Tuck" problem. So it gives credence to your supposition.

Hi Joe, That's really not the case with the HD spring. I have driven Courier Vans extensively and found that in standard well maintained trim, they will out handle most equivalents with trick suspension. > A good > number of the camber compensators I have sold are to Herald and Vitesse > Owners who have all informed me of their amazement of how it improves the > handling. Bear in mind that the 552lb/in spring has been unavailable for 30+ years, and even then few Herald owners are aware of it's existence.
