ASP's are not space age ... they are a semi trailing arm suspension with an outer pivot point that moves forward & rearward with suspension travel.
This affects camber and toe change curves. Outer pivot rearward tends toward pure trailing arm (no camber change with up / down travel), outer pivot forward tends toward swing axle (lots of camber change with up / down travel).
So the suspension behavior tends towards swing axle during compression, and towards semi trailing arm during rebound. You get more camber compensation and higher roll center during hard cornering, and normal behavior when going straight. So you can get by with a bit less negative camber in the setup.
IMO much of todays more complicated suspension setup is needed because we got rid of the tire sidewall, which is an excellent and very robust filter for all sorts of things.
