Heres http://web.zone.ee/mopple/Haynes/Roadsteri%20koost.PDF my Solidworks drawing of Roadster chassis with wishbones attached.
Both lower wishbones are horizontal and rear suspension has 0,5 deg neg camber.
Why must be the damper angles be so small according to your tester? With smaller angles damping and spring rates must be bigger to achieve the same resultants as per default design.
