I've used both Swing Spring and Camber Compensator.
Both have limitations based on different compromises,
and what you are trying to accomplish.
A racing project that I never completed was a true
swing spring:
The *entire* spring pivots above the diff. Roll
stiffness is provided by a separate conventional
anti-roll bar setup.
Advantages:
1) rear ride height and spring rate adjustable
independently from rear roll stiffness
2) front and rear roll stiffness split can be fine
tuned
3) allows a very high rear spring rate to limit camber
changes, maintains contact patch on wide racing slicks
BTW, this was for a racing only application. The rear
spring rate would be far too high for most street
drivers. A single large truck spring leaf was to be
used. (someone actually suggested a steel bar instead)
