Yep! You're definitely in the ballpark, and probably about as good as you can be with stock arms & pickup points.

I think the best situation would be to make roll center adjusters that lower the outside contact point of the lower control arms in the rear (where the arm connects to the upright). That would let you run the same static camber (-2.1* or whatever you want), while gain you more dynamic camber in bump. Basically you'd have more camber while cornering and the same camber as before during braking/straights, with something in between for the track-out (putting power down) part of the corner.
