I've got a question about ride height.  Over the weekend I set the rear wheels perpendicular to the ground with no passenger weight.  I then adjusted the front beam to get the floor level.  I used a string system to complete the alignment.  I was pretty happy with the alignment setup, it checked out within a string width when I rotated the wheel boards 180, and gave me good access to make the adjustments.

My concern is that after I drove the car into the garage and my wife and I got out, the rear wheels showed a fair amount of negative camber.  I rolled the car back a forth a bit with no passenger weight and the wheels came back to neutral camber.  I expected this and thought about placing bags of cement in the seats during my alignment, but did not think I needed to go to that trouble.  Now I'm wondering.  If I set it up so the wheels are neutral with passenger weight onboard, it will have more positive camber than I care for while parked.  What is the right compromise?
