Going after negative camber
Series I do charges points for offset bushings or adjustable UCA's. Already shaved down the spherical washers that attach to the k-member. With this, max negative camber I can get up front is (-)0.5*. Looking to get ~ (-)1.2*ish. Had the fantastically horrible idea of "notching" the k-member portion below where the UCA attaches, bending it inward approximately 1/2" (math-ed), and welding it rigid again. Anyone ever gone down this route?

Cheat. Put in the lower offset Bushings just don't use the set screws that will give them away. I ground the Factory Washers in the upper arms as far as I could. With that I was getting about 2 1/4 Degrees Negative. If you look at my thread "DIY Camber Brace" I made it about 1/8" short on each side. When I tightened the Bolts, it just pulled the upper mounts in. I'm now getting 3 degrees Camber.
