The way you did goes some way to what I am thinking but there are a few points of difference:
1) The stock TCA will be discarded and a new A arm in CHS will be fabricated with the triangulated link being in compression rather than the tension arrangement you have, the connecting point of the triangulation being closer to the stub axle end. I'm not sure yet whether the inner bush will be retained or bit the bullet and go full heim joint.
2) The ball joint end will have a heim joint to enable the camber to be adjusted.
3) The compression strut of the A arm will have a heim joint at each end to enable the caster to be adjusted in situ.
4) The AR bar will have a separate pair of heim joints as yours but will be solidly located to the A arm and not through the old TCA bush.

I am expecting better control under braking as you experienced as well as better responsiveness in the corners, all of which should aid confidence in the car.
