Frankly, I don't think spring wrap up has that much effect on camber. VW uses rubber seals to give to accommodate the wrap up but I do know someone who uses aluminum spacers on the spring but it does not appear to bind from wrap up.
Changing the car's tendency to rotate can be accomplished with the droop adj. It takes time, and someone in the pits to adjust the push rods, but many top cars use this approach to adj. the initial response from the rear suspension. Changing the spring via the collar won't change the droop. We've begun to learn that our zero roll cars are almost instantly on the droop limiters during a turn so changing the camber when on the droop changes the car.. Changing the camber, at droop, will loosen, via less camber, and tighten, via more camber, the rear suspension. If your car is popping into oversteer on entry, shortening the push rod and increasing the camber at droop, will tend to reduce the oversteer. And by extension, reducing camber, by extending the pushrods, will generate more rotation and reduce push.
