I don't know how a Borla exhaust is shaped, but if it's in the way of the camber bolt and you don't want to drop the exhaust, try removing the bolt at the other end at the knuckle.
Yes, if you are removing the inner strap bolts from the top, while sitting in front of the rotor, you'll need about 18" of extensions. Or you can do them from under the car w/o any extensions. You may just have to change the angle of the shaft by raising the knuckle (safely, of course - not sure how you have the car supported). And don't put a jack under the half-shaft to raise it.
