SC&C's tall balljoint or AFX spindle packages do the same thing to fix the camber curve (taller effective spindle height), but raise the steer arm by ~1/2" to reduce factory bumpsteer by 85%, and they're the proper length so steering ratio and radius are not effected.
As for making the parts work together... If I can do it, anyone can.  (and I'd be happy to help choose a spring/shock/swaybar combo to fit the budget)

So there!

I won't be participating in any events because i don't really like HAN; if there was an anti tour I'd be on it just look for RED Camino.
I just got the car back from paint last week so everything is still new but I did get the bugs finally worked out of the 700r4.

Derek does know suspensions but as long as you're happy with yours that's what counts. We're all looking for different things and have different expectations, skills and pocket books.
