The car I race (S14 240) is notorious for what many people say is excessive camber gain in compression in the rear.

Thanks,
I don't know the answer to what is considered ideal but I did some looking at published figures I found online for some sports cars considered to have good suspension. For example the miata has 0.91 degrees of camber gain for 1" of bump at the front suspension but I did not find anything about the rear suspension. Further reading suggested they should have more camber gain in the rear to aid traction on power down corner exit but I learnt this after writing my comments above in the previous post.
From my estimates the BRZ rear suspension has about 1.2 degrees of camber gain for 1" bump.
