Can someone better at setting cars up then me tell me if I'm correct in saying that- (only talking about grip levels)

Shorter camber link or more angled link = more grip at start of corner, less mid and exit

Longer camber link or less angled = less grip at start of corner, more mid and exit

Thanks Sam

Correct (to an extent)

This might also assist in developing your understanding of car setup..

The link length will affect how much the car rolls, so this has most effect mid-corner. Longer = more mid-corner grip. You will also get less camber gain with a longer link, so you may need to add static camber to compensate.

The link angle effects the initial roll-centre position, so this has most effect on the entry to the corner. Less angle will lower the initial roll centre and give more grip into the corner.
