the bar moves both toe and camber when the semi-trailing arm moves.

As stated in my post: The rod is mostly there for adjusting and controlling the toe, but yes, the camber wil be afbreakted. But in such a small ammount that you cant realy adjust it.
From my papers, it looks like the camber moves like +/- 0.30 at maks. when adjusting the toe.
When lowering the car, the adjustable range you need is in the neiborhood of +/- 0.80 or moore. Mine was at -2.60 before adjustment, at 40mm lowering, and after the adjustment 1.56. Thats the differense of wearing the rear tyres out in one month instead of having them for two sesons ;)
The other thing to remember here is setting the toe to arround 0.20 or more, to help for a more even wear of the rear tyres.
As said before, works as a charm on mine :y
