If I am not mistaken, negative camber plates on independent suspension is to compensate for lack of camber gain in a turn, especially on MacPherson strut suspensions. A solid axle means the tires are at 90 degrees to the road at all times except if you hit a bump on one side or get airborne...
You don't gain any camber on the solid rear axle as it compresses... and you do want some.
The only way to compensate is to add static negative camber.

I actually posted in another forum about building a set of these, and possibly ones with a bit of toe out built in as well.
