What do you guys think of this for balljoint suspension mods

[DORIGTT]

I'm thinking of a couple things. Follow me for a minute.

To get more negative camber, the 356 guys/gals shorten the top tube of their front axle beam assembly a smidge to cant the uprights in a bit. This apparently gives more negative camber. What do you think of doing this and of the possiblity of the trailing arms binding in their range of movement?

Also, I'm thinking of getting rid of the balljoint upper shock mounts and grafting on a set-up similar to the king-pin front end. This I believe would allow a wider range of shock availabilty. Also, we could use better shocks as the availability for 'better' front shocks is limited with the balljoint arrangement I believe. We can now use Qal shocks or something like that.

Am I smoking too much horsehair padding or what?

An easier way than doing all the upper beam shortening is just to bend the upper trailing arm. They've been doing that for racing series for a long time now. The trick is getting the bend done just right and then copying it to the other side!

Why not buy an excentric nut? Don't remember the company, but I have bought some, haven't attached them to my car yet though..

Makes it all nice and adjustable..
