For a start the bottom ball joint is further out and further forwards than the top mount giving the standard camber and castor but shortening the distance between the 2 increases camber and castor.
It also can induce bump steer (where the steering arms aren't level with the rack and going over a bump causes the car to toe in/out die to the movement of the suspension effectively shortening/lengthening the arm).
Theres also al load more characteristics with COG, Roll centers, roll resistance from stiffer dampers, weight transfer that are all altered.
Not sure i totally agree with you there buddy.
Ball joint sweep distance wont change so wont be further in or out unless lower arms are modified.
More camber perhaps but castor should be the same
Bump steer is easily rectified with balancing and centering the rack too, this is a more common issue of bump steer. And usually the sweep of the track rod arm can thus be matched to the lower arm sweep.
Wishes for more power...
